Some government functionaries may think Social Media is bad but some others have embraced it wholeheartedly, as least to be reachable by the masses or to keep abreast of technology.

A recent survey from the Digital Policy Council (DPC) done in December 2012, shows that 75 percent of the world’s heads of state have a presence on Twitter.

A total of 123 world leaders out of 164 countries had accounts on Twitter set up in their personal name or through an official government office. In 2011 only 69 out of 164 countries had embraced Twitter. The new figures represent a 78% increase in the number of heads of state and national governments on Twitter from 2011.

In terms of followership, President Obama again maintained the top spot of all world leaders, with a vast 24 million followers, adding 15 million followers in one year. 2012 was an election year, therefore, the Twitter account continued to be managed by the presidential campaign staff. Obama continued to occasionally post his own tweets, signed with his initials.
