Which heads of state tweet, in one map
Posted by Caitlin Dewey on January 2, 2013
@BarackObama and @Pontifex have company. According to a new report by the Digital Policy Council, 75 percent of world leaders tweeted in 2012 — up 78 percent from 2011 and 270 percent from 2010, the year the survey started. Although the numbers are a bit inflated – the report counts nameless official accounts, such as Morocco’s “eGovernment Portal” and an Indonesian account that posts occasional press releases, among its “heads of states” – they reflect a growing trend. Above, we’ve mapped out the heads of state who use Twitter, also indicating their follow counts.
