CBBC Newsround has today started an official Twitter account -

https://twitter.com/bbcnewsround

It is not yet clear whether the official account is permitted to interact with other Twitter users - in particular those with no BBC connections.

For those who are not already aware, the Blog your are now reading and its associated https://twitter.com/Newsround_Blog Twitter account have no connection with the BBC or the CBBC Newsround programme - we are completely independent.
