I just searched on Twitter to see if his account has been activated yet. Several accounts showed up with his name, but I don’t think any of them are the real deal yet. Any news? What’s the word on the street?

Pope Benedict seems to be averaging around 30 new followers a second @Pontifex

30 new followers a second!? He’s a pretty popular guy!

I think it’s pretty neat that he is doing the whole question and answer thing. What a great way to connect to Catholics the world over. I imagine that it could be a profound conversion moment for anyone whose question he chooses to answer. “The pope is speaking directly to me!”
