Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology S.Korean president joins Twitter after poll setback AFP - Wednesday, June 9 Send IM Story Print S.Korean president joins Twitter after poll setback Slideshow: Full Photo Coverage: Internet Portals & Search Engines SEOUL (AFP) - – The office of South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak has opened an account with Twitter, the social-networking site credited with fuelling opposition support in elections last week. The feed at #BluehouseKorea has attracted more than 3,000 followers since its launch Monday, although Lee's office did not link the new account to the election setback. Lee's ruling Grand National Party secured only six out of the 16 posts for provincial governor or city mayor that were up for grabs in nationwide local polls on June 2. Analysts and politicians agreed that an unexpectedly strong turnout by young and liberal voters -- driven by a "go and vote" campaign on Twitter -- had worked against the ruling party. Lee's office opened a local micro-blogging social networking service in February and a mobile site for smartphone users. But the use of Twitter had been delayed due to worries about information leakage and hacking, Yonhap news agency said, adding the president's office had recently set up an internal system to foil such attacks. Twitter will help Lee improve communication with Internet users, the president's online spokesman Lee Kil-Ho said in a message posted Tuesday.
