[i]President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono launched his official Twitter account on Saturday, choosing the username @SBYudhoyono for the social media service.
The president had already attracted more than 130,000 followers on his account by Saturday afternoon, even without posting a single tweet or following anyone else.
“For the first time, President SBY will greet the netizen and will make the [twitter] world as part of his new life,” Daniel Sparingga, one of the staff members from the president’s political communication team, said on Saturday at the president’s palace in Cipanas, West Java. [/i]

Maybe SBY wants to follow Obama's step by creating a Twitter account
. As you may already know, Obama was using social media for his campaign purpose and getting pretty well results with that.
But SBY could no longer be a president after 2014, so probably the twitter account isn't served for campaign purpose.
Do you think SBY will read rants on our tweets?
Will this new Twitter account bring some improvements in our government's performance?
And have you already follow SBY on Twitter? ![](/Content/images/emotes/rofl.gif)

i think it`s wise decision..
why we don`t think it from the good perspective..
i believe that it`s the fastest way from our president and his staff for hearing directly from people..
i am rarely login into my twitter..so maybe it took time for following his account..

hahahaha sooo funny :D
Maybe we can ask him if he could lend us his account for a while to try and see if we can use it to do some Internet Marketing and make some $$$ :P
Or we can see if we know to find some hackers and flood his twitter with G*Y P**N :D
