The Holy Father sent out a series of three tweets this morning (around Noon in Rome) using his new Twitter handle @Pontifex (https://twitter.com/Pontifex). I will note that about 15 minutes before did that there were just over 675,000 followers and, as you can see in my snapshot, he added some 15,000 when I began that post a few minutes ago. When I just went to grab his homepage URL, it was up almost another 5000.
The Holy Father is tweeting in 8 languages. You can see the other accounts here. https://twitter.com/Pontifex/following.

Those on Twitter may want to subscribe to my lists of bishops. I have broken them off into two separate lists - US and Non-US. If you subscribed previously, you may want to double-check that you weren't dropped when I renamed it. There are 20 US bishops tweeting and I have a list of 8 Non-US bishops. That list sticks mainly with those bishops who use at least some english. Tweet me if I am missing anyone. I added Pope Benedict to both lists. By looking at the members of each list, you can follow individually, as well. The beauty of following a list is that you can see in one click, the latest tweets by members of that list.

- Non-US Bishops: https://twitter.com/TeDeumBlog/non-us-catholic-bishops/members
I'm considering a third list of Non-US bishops that are in other languages.
Here is video captured by Rome Reports of the Pope sending out his first Tweet.
