The newly elected president of Madagascar Hery Rajaonarimampianina created his twitter account on March 23, 2014. Here is his first tweet :
It is quite possibly the most meta tweet ever from a head of state. Only media mugol Rupert Murdoch might challenge the level of “metaness” of his first tweet. The president of Madagascar has also the distinction for the longest name ever for a head of state.

Very similar to what the UK chancellor (finance minister) did in 2011 http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ed-balls
That’s funny. Maybe it’s what you’re supposed to do!
Quite similar Indeed. In fact, got to concede that tweeting “Ed Balls” is more 007 in its brevity than posting a twitter handle. (I guess tweeting “Hery Rajaonarimampianina” would have ruled out brevity as well)
