Rupert Murdoch, the media tycoon once portrayed as a skeptic of the Internet, has started his own Twitter account, sharing views on topics from a biography on Steve Jobs to U.S. politics and his New Year?s resolutions.
The News Corp. chairman and chief executive officer has attracted more than 56,000 followers since comments appeared on the microblogging website two days ago under the handle rupertmurdoch. Daisy Dunlop, a spokeswoman for News Corp.?s U.K. publishing unit, confirmed the authenticity of the account.
The 80-year-old Murdoch, on vacation on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthelemy, wrote that a recently published biography on Apple Inc.?s founder was ?interesting but unfair,? while an article in News Corp.-owned Wall Street Journal on Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul showed the ?huge appeal of libertarian message.?
