Microsoft already has a strong Twitter presence with numerous teams maintaining accounts on the microblogging social network, but until now there wasn’t an overall account for the company as a whole. On Wednesday, though, that changed as @microsoft went live on Twitter. The account is maintained by four members of the corporate communications team and it currently looks like more of a feed of Microsoft-related news than an attempt to read and respond to incoming @ replies. (Although that hasn’t stopped a slew of folks from tweeting to @Microsoft).
Instead, if you’re looking for a little more personal interaction – or at the very least, more targeted news – you may be better off following one of these specific Microsoft-owned Twitter accounts:
