Already, the president's Twitter account, "chavezcandanga," is one of the most popular accounts in Venezuela, with more than 79,000 followers in less than 24 hours after he sent his first message.
"Candanga" roughly translates to "devil" in some Latin American countries, though in Venezuela it can mean "rabble-rouser." More than 8.7 million Venezuelans were regular Internet users as of January, or about 30 percent of the population, up from 25 percent in 2008, according to Tendencias Digitales.Some 350,000 of those users were registered on Twitter, a tenfold increase from 2009. More than 5.4 million Venezuelans were registered as Facebook users.
