The next President of the United States will inherit the keys to the social media kingdom [washingtonpost.com]:

What happens to President Barack Obama's 11.1 million Twitter followers on Inauguration Day? The White House says Obama's official @POTUS account will be taken over by the next president, who will start with a huge following but a clean slate of tweets. Obama's tweets will move over to a new handle, @POTUS44, by the National Archives and Records Administration.

The same will take place with Obama's Facebook and Instagram accounts, along with other Twitter accounts including Michelle Obama's @FLOTUS and Joe Biden's @VP accounts.

You can read all about it on the White House weblog [whitehouse.gov].
