In what started as a joke, President Bill Clinton is now officially on Twitter and has been tweeting regularly since he verified his account as [@BillClinton](https://twitter.com/billclinton?ref=ivn.us).

In the beginning of April, he joined the Twittersphere with the help of comedian Stephen Colbert, who initially set him up on the social media account as @PrezBillyJeff.

"I've been planning to start my Twitter page for quite awhile, but now that you've primed the pump, I'm really ready to go," Bil Clinton [told](http://thehill.com/video/in-the-news/296057-bill-clinton-adopts-more-dignified-twitter-handle?utm%5Fsource=feedly) Colbert in April.

His first tweet, sent in an April episode of the Colbert Report:

Since then, he's taken on a more presidential tone, sharing his thoughts and experiences with his over 500,000 Twitter followers:
