Will Twitter Become The 'De Facto' Communication Tool For World Leaders In 2013?

Three out of four world leaders agree: Social media, particularly Twitter, is THE way to reach the people these days.

A recent study reports that most heads of state worldwide are now on Twitter.

Politicians in the U.S. worked Twitter hard during the presidential election, culminating in 31 million tweets and the fantastically popular “four more years” Obama photo.

And some politicians have become Twitter superstars, like New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker.

According to Digital Daya’s World Leaders on Twitter Rankings Report, “world leaders now recognize the opportunities social media holds as an informative and engaging tool.”

Analyses as of December 2012 reveals that 75%, or three out of four heads of state, were utilizing the social media site Twitter.
