On Saturday 29 March, just over three years since SIPRI joined Twitter, the number of followers of the @SIPRIorg account ticked over 10 000.
We're thrilled to have reached this milestone, and would like to take this opportunity to thank each of our Twitter followers for their interest in SIPRI. A special thanks to all of our followers who have re-tweeted our tweets or mentioned us in their own tweets.
A lot has changed in the past three years—take a look at our first five tweets from way back in March 2011:
We now follow over 800 accounts, including more than 50 accounts administered by the United Nations alone, and look forward to increasing our engagement with our Twitter followers over the coming years.
In the meantime, why not join us?
