The IT Nerd

The regime that everybody loves to hate wants friends. North Korea now has a Twitter account, and a YouTube Account. I guess that social networking is now a priority in that corner of the universe. The funny thing is that they’ve gained a ton of followers (10,943 as I type this) on Twitter, and a number of subscribers on YouTube (1617 as I type this). Some of the postings that are in English are funny, but some are clearly propaganda. Perhaps someone who reads Korean can tell me what the rest of the postings say.

So, here’s my question. Does the fact that this repressive regime has entered the social networking universe make you think differently about them?
