Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president well known for his marathon TV addresses to the nation, has taken to Twitter to share his thoughts.
After he promised to "let loose" on Tuesday night, a Spanish-language tweet duly appeared on his new chavezcandanga account 14 minutes after midnight.
It was a simple message to say he was off on a working trip to Brazil.
By morning the leftist leader, a divisive figure at home and abroad, had nearly 29,000 followers on Twitter.
With his popularity dented by a recession and soaring inflation, the Venezuelan leader has often been outmanoeuvred by opponents more active on the web than his supporters, correspondents say.
"Hey how's it going? I appeared like I said I would: at midnight. I'm off to Brazil. And very happy to work for Venezuela. We will be victorious!!"

Remember, He just armed all of his “followers” with military weapons. Now Hugo can “flash-mob” with the best of them.
He’s the perfect Twit for it.
