Why does it say 3 hours ago under the tweet? Wasn't this in real time?

  >Wasn't this in real time? No. Questions were culled from Tweets with the #AskObama hashtag starting on June 30. Some of the questions did come in close to real-time. I think the most recent ones were 5-10 minutes old when presented to the president.

    So how did they choose the questions then? Based on retweets, or the Twitter team just picked the ones they liked?

      They had a group of moderators who were selected to find the best questions. I believe most of the moderators were journalists or bloggers.
