Former US President Bill Clinton has officially joined Twitter, securing the account @BillClinton. The news first appeared in a Tweet from Twitter’s @gov account. The move comes weeks after his appearance on the Comedy Central show “The Colbert Report”, where he was asked about if he used Twitter. It was during the show when Colbert said that he had set up an account as a placeholder for President Clinton under the name @PrezBillyJeff. Admittedly, the President was a bit shy about using the social network: “I think I’m so, sort of insecure. What if you Tweet and no one Tweets back? There’s nothing worse than a friendless Tweeter, right?” Granted that Colbert did send the first Tweet on Clinton’s behalf, about 20 minutes ago, the first two official Tweets were sent out.
