UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, Sends First Tweet

Screen Shot 2012-10-06 at 18.34.37David Cameron, the British Prime Minister, has sent his first tweet. Despite joining Twitter in January 2010 his verified account had never tweeted anything — until a few moments ago, when he said this: I’m starting Conference with this new Twitter feed about my role as Conservative Leader. I promise there won’t be “too many tweets…” David Cameron (@David_Cameron) October 6, 2012 The “too many tweets…” comment is a reference to a radio interview in 2009, in which Cameron was asked for his views on Twitter and he replied:”The trouble with Twitter, the instantness of it too many twits might make a twat.” (The Guardian has a video clip of the momenthere.) Use of the word “twat” on a live breakfast radio show got Cameron into a spot of instant hot water — and he subsequently apologised for his choice of words.
