After more
than a month of actively using Twitter, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono says
that he’s ready to join Facebook.
“Next
month, Insya Allah, I will join Facebook,” Yudhoyono said at his office on
Tuesday.
Yudhoyono
did not explain the details of his plan, and said had not yet decided whether
it would be an ordinary Facebook account or fan page.
Julian
Aldrin Pasha, the president’s spokesman, said that Yudhoyono wanted to join the
social network because Indonesia is one of Facebook’s largest markets.
“It’s
because this [Facebook] is different from Twitter,” Julian said. “Beside there
are other things he could not say on Twitter that [we] considered [it]
necessary for him to be active on a Facebook account.”
Julian
refused to explain more details, claiming that the president was still
preparing for the launch.
