The Pope entered the age of technology yesterday when he posted his first ever tweet.
The debut message was a cordial greeting to his followers and read: “Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart.”
Though this was his first tweet, the Pope has had a Twitter account for a while now and had already gained over a million followers before posting a single tweet! We bet no celebrity today could say the same for themselves!
There are eight other accounts associated with the leader of the Catholic Church in eight different languages including Portuguese, Arabic an Polish. All the accounts simultaneously tweeted the initial message in their respective languages.
