HONOLULU (AP) – The Secret Service will be tweeting for the first time during this week’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Honolulu.
Agency spokesman Max Milien said Tuesday the Secret Service will use Twitter to disseminate information to the media and the public.
President Barack Obama is hosting the conference, which is bringing together heads of state and other leaders from 21 member nations and economies.
Milien says the agency is trying to get up to speed with socialnetworking. He says the agency will release its Twitter handle or account name later.
The Secret Service has also set up a communications hub in Honolulu where federal, state and local authorities may share information on traffic accidents or other issues that may erupt during the meeting.
