British Prime Minister David Cameron has joined Twitter, following in the footsteps of dozens of other global leaders.
Verified account holder @David_Cameron joined the microblogging site on Saturday, a day before his Conservative political party starts its annual conference in Birmingham, U.K.
During the weekend, the prime minister amassed more than 88,000 followers at the time of writing on his newly-created personal account.
Twitter U.K. announced the joining of the country's leader on its blog, noting that his signing up makes him the 370th member of the U.K. Parliament on the site -- or more than half of Britain's elected representatives.
In his inaugural tweet, Cameron said: "I promise there won't be 'too many tweets...'," referencing a comment he made on U.K. radio three years earlier that resulted in heavy criticism.
