The C.I.A. Has Joined Twitter And Their First Tweet Is The Greatest Tweet Of All Time

In an unlikely turn of events today, the Central Intelligence Agency announced that they were finally embracing the world of social media. Yes, it is official - or at least that's what they'll have us think - the C.I.A. have joined both Twitter and Facebook. Under the inconspicuous Twitter username @CIA their first tweet comes just a few days after the agency opened a Facebook page. In a statement on their website the C.I.A., who are already active on both Flickr and YouTube: "Follow us on Twitter @CIA and on Facebook for the latest CIA updates, #tbt (Throwback Thursday) photos, reflections on intelligence history, and fun facts from the CIA World Factbook."

We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet. — CIA (@CIA) June 6, 2014
