As Twitchy reported, the 2013 papal conclave frenzy shall be tweeted. So naturally, the Vatican chimney has its own (unofficial) Twitter accounts.
The Pope Alarm, launched by the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), offers email and text message notifications.

When the white smoke rises to announce the selection of a new pope, Twitter (and Twitchy) will be on it.
