North Korea grasping for support on Twitter and You Tube?

The North Korean government has joined both Twitter and You Tube, hoping to further spread their propaganda against South Korea. They just joined Twitter as of last Thursday, and already have thousands of followers. It is still a mystery who exactly is behind the posts because Twitter has been banned from North and South Korea as a whole. People have also been reminded that ANY communication between the north and south is still illegal and prohibited in any shape or fashion.

This actually doesn't surprise me at all. It seems as though anyone and everyone is using the new media outlets to further their own objectives, whether they're part of the government or just a simple citizen. I think it's kinda sad that we heavily rely on outlets such as this, especially when we don't know for sure who is actually behind it; but on the other hand I think it's helpful and kinda neat that we have access to sites such as these to get more people involved that typically wouldn't be....it's a toss up for me right now!
