"Having already claimed the title of the world’s most influential leader on Twitter — with over 27 million followers across his nine accounts — Pope Francis has a new social media platform in his sights.
The Argentine pontiff will take to Instagram over the weekend, with images set to portray the main messages of his papacy. “Being close to anyone who’s suffering, for example. Tenderness, mercy and lots of joy,” said Greg Burke, a Vatican spokesman".(Rosie Scammell ) 
I thought President Monson is the most influential leader on Twitter.... OK.... I'm just kidding! I don't even use Twitter or Instagram or snap chat for that matter=P In all seriousness, this is a classic example of how impactful social media or online media have on the public sphere. No wonder our church has given greater emphasis to sharing the Gospel through Facebook or other online methods! Well... Guess I gotta post something now=D
