Thing is, it’s hard not to like the CIA’s Twitter account.
Its goofy sense of humour, combined with interesting historical links and pictures means that it would be a must-follow account if it was being run by anyone else.
For example, take a look at how it celebrated its first month on Twitter, answering questions on everything from what happened to Tupac (it doesn’t know) and whether or not it’s currently hiring.
