Edward Snowden Has Joined Twitter


FOX News: Edward Snowden hits 1 million Twitter followers

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has racked up more than a million Twitter followers, just 24 hours after making his debut on the micro-blogging site.

Snowden, who posted his first tweet Tuesday, had amassed 1.03 million followers by late Wednesday morning. The former NSA contractor was following just one Twitter account - @NSAGov.

“Meanwhile, a thousand people at Fort Meade just opened Twitter,” he quipped Tuesday, referring to the NSA’s headquarters at Fort Meade, Md.

Update #1: Edward Snowden joined Twitter 24 hours ago — he already has a million followers and he's only following one account -- Business Insider
Update #2: “Can you hear me now?” Snowden joins Twitter, follows NSA -- Dispatch Times

WNU Editor: I am surprised that it took him this long. In the end it will probably be social media that will aid his efforts to return to the U.S.. I also expect Edward Snowden to be a proliferate in his tweets.

I think the might be a mistake on his part. He runs the danger of being over exposed and becoming boring.
