Here are some of the best tweets in response to the news that Rupert Murdoch is now on Twitter - and then Murdoch''s own tweets .

New king of the Twitterverse

* Maybe he's interested in the direct messaging function on here, & how you could access the messages of others???...

* The new @rupertmurdoch account appears to be verified. At least you don't need to "pay-per-view" to read it!

* From John Prescott : Good luck with your latest venture into social media. I promise not to mention MySpace.....much!

* From John Prescott: Welcome to Twitter @rupertmurdoch. I've left you a Happy New Year message on my voicemail!

* Welcome to Twitter @rupertmurdoch where it's possible to overhear millions of people's messages to one another.

* From OccupyWallSt: Welcome 2 twitter, @RupertMurdoch. Hope u picked a strong password.

* If anyone was wondering who's been rummaging through their Direct Messages, @rupertmurdoch has joined Twitter.

*From Piers Morgan: You can tell by the tweets he's doing it himself.

*From Louise Mensch MP : Twitter consensus is the @rupertmurdochaccount is genuine.

* Ummm @rupertmurdoch joining twitter may be the real first sign of the apocalypse. #2012

* Hey @rupertmurdoch. I'm surprised you're only following two people. The police said it was at least 800!

* If @rupertmurdoch can't tell the difference between the tweet box and the search box this could be *fun*!

* The only media baron with any integrity AND an invulnerability to thrown pies - @RupertMurdoch
