British royal family joins Twitter
LONDON — Britain’s royal family has extended its kingdom further into cyberspace and joined Twitter — but don’t expect Her Majesty to tweet.
Buckingham Palace, which already has a significant online presence, said Friday that it has set up a Twitter account to alert royal watchers to what’s happening with the family.
But that won’t result in any re-tweets or trending topics from Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Charles. A palace spokeswoman says the account won’t be used to air personal opinions.
The queen launched Buckingham Palace’s Web site in 1997. She also has her own YouTube channel.

This is great. Certainly a way for the British Monarchy to update the online world of the current happenings. This will be an excellent medium for issues and concerns to be addressed. They probably already have thousands of followers by now. Thanks! |
