Apple Exec Schiller Steps Out On Twitter A Bit More; Answers Questions, Troubleshoots

A week ago, it was revealed that Apple executive Phil Schiller was using Twitter . Actually, he had been on the service for about two years, but he wasn't active, nor was he verified, so no one was sure it was him. Well, now we know it is him and all of a sudden, for whatever reason, he has decided to become an active user. And since stories like ours pushed Schiller from 800 or so followers to about 16,800, he has stepped up his game another notch: he's actually started answering @replies with questions pointed towards him. Perhaps this shouldn't be too surprising, since this is the same Schiller that took matters into his own hands in August 2009 when there was growing discontent among iPhone app developers. But he is still an executive at Apple, the notoriously secretive company.
