If you use Twitter, you should really follow @sweden. Recently, the Swedish Tourism Ministry decided to select a new Swedish citizen every week to run the country’s official Twitter account. The results have been amazing and entertaining.
Last week was a guy holding a chicken, and since I’ve forgotten his name, let’s call him Steve. Steve showed us photos of frosty grass, his favorite horse, and shared bits of his home life.
This week is Adam, a lamb farmer. He was very upfront about his intent to spam us with pictures of cute lambs, and has not failed to deliver. He even gave us some insight on the butter shortage. But really, it’s all about the lambs.
With a new citizen each week, @sweden is quickly becoming my favorite account to follow. Have a look! And while you’re on Twitter, also take a look at @sjcplib. Or better yet, follow us!
