President Obamas foray onto Twitter on Monday won the Guinness World Records award for fastest time to reach 1 million followers.
Guinness World Records confirmed the victory in a news release Tuesday, sharing that Obama reached the mark in less than five hours after he made his first tweet from the new
@POTUS account.
Obama now can add another Guinness World Record victory to his list, which includes a number of social media prizes. His @BarackObama account already had the most followers for any politician, and he had the most expensive and most heavily guarded presidential inauguration in 2009.
His tweet immediately after his reelection in 2012 broke three Guinness records: most widespread social network message in 24 hours, most likes on a Facebook item in 24 hours and most likes on a Facebook item.
