It’s usually not a good thing when a member of a royal family has everyone a-twitter, but in this case, we’re not talking about providing tabloid fodder. 

Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan, who last year broke new cross-cultural ground with her “Send Me Your Stereotypes” endeavor on YouTube (and won YouTube’s first Visionary Award for her efforts), is now using Twitter as well. 

It looks like President Obama isn’t the only world statesperson to have mastered social media.

As a speechwriter, I prefer (and, frankly, make a living from) messages that run just a bit more than 140 characters, so I’d also advise you to check out Her Majesty’s recent speech on global education at last month’s Global Philanthropy Forum in Washington.
