Maybe there are people who owe allegiance to CyberPOPE who will filter the feed for him? Assuming it's not an impersonator. I quite like the handle too. But yeah, I can imagine it being a bit of a feeding frenzy.
It was on the BBC News; I don't think it's a fake, although they implied that it would be written by the papal staff rather than the Pope Himself (who prefers a pen).
Oh, cool. I didn't think to check the mainstream news :) I sort of assume that's the case -- I think most important people or large organisations have someone to handle the twitter (although I understand @sweden is just a random Swedish resident picked anew each week :)).
The tick in a blue circle is supposed to mean Twitter have verified his identity, too. Although I suppose there might be scope for a well-chosen background image...
