Hugo Chavez is investing in his Twitter account

Chavez and Twitter

@chavezcandanga has 250 thousand followers posting messages that he cannot deal with. Now he has hired 200 people to do the job and carry on with his popular approach as a president.

Chavez and the Internet

Not long ago (March the 14th 2010) he said "the internet must not be free for everyone to do or say whatever they want". The reason is because fake news informing that one of his ministers had been killed. Though he didn't understand what the internet stands for, freedom of speech, he learned to get attention from it, and is been proven to be a good technique for popularity.

Venezuela censorship

Hugo Chavez never applied censorship to the internet in Venezuela, like China and Korea do. Now he is participating! I like that.

Let's just hope democracy increases it's popularity there too.
