Holy Tweet!

Yup! Even the Pope wants to get social like us.


On June 29, the head of the Roman Catholic Church using an iPad tweeted for the first time. The Pope sent a 129 message to the twitterverse about the launch of the Vatican news website News.va, and ofcourse praised the son of God.

Now after hearing about it, a few questions popped into my head.

• Was it really the Pope who tweeted, or was it a virtual assistant he hired from Freelancer.com?

• If it was him who tweeted, how many times did he edit the message to make it under 140?

• What is that statue on the Vatican’s Twitter page pointing at, and what does it mean? Does it point to a clue?

• Why is the Vatican not following God on Twitter? Are they denying his existence in the twitterverse? http://twitter.com/god

• And lastly, how would the devil react to this social media marketing campaign being waged by the Holy See?
