Pope Benedict XVI has sent his very first tweet. His Holiness used the Vatican News Twitter account to send the tweet, which he used to announce the launch of a Vatican news and information website and to praise Jesus.
The account used to sent the tweet has 18,537 followers at the time of this writing, but that figure is sure to increase once users find out that the pope has started to use the social network.
Pope Benedict XVI sent the tweet from an iPad and the moment was captured for posterity in a video that was uploaded to YouTube.
