"The wait is over for Pope Benedict XVI's many Twitter followers, and they have been quick to respond to the much anticipated first tweet from his personal account Wednesday morning.
Using the handle @Pontifex -- meaning "bridge builder" in Latin -- he posted: "Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart."
A flood of tweets expressing joy, admiration, antagonism and skepticism followed from the Twitterverse, not to mention a fair few jokes."

well this should be fun.

"This prompted admiration from some fellow tweeters.
"Brilliant that @Pontifex tweets in 8 languages simultaneously incl. Arabic ... : Truly pioneering," said @gsurya.
"Not even I could manage 8 Twitter accounts. I suppose @Pontifex has God on his side," remarked @BizPaul.
However, not everyone was impressed. "So disappointed that @Pontifex did not write his first tweet in Latin," said @laiabalcells."
