New Twitter besties in the making?
The White House recently tweeted a “breaking” news alert about its new Tumblr filled with animated GIFs. On Thursday, the White House shared a GIF of President Obama taking off from the White House. It wasn’t a cat GIF, but the White House got a pat on the back from BuzzFeed anyway.
Nice GIF, @WhiteHouse http://t.co/sRl284EunQ http://t.co/8wi1XAxepN

If that GIF doesn’t show up for you, here it is:
BuzzFeed didn’t rate a table at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but the site scored a consolation prize: a thank-you tweet from the White House.
@buzzfeed Thanks!

Sigh.
Former President Bill Clinton is also on the hunt for a new Twitter pal.
.@WarrenBuffett Welcome to @Twitter. What took you so long?
— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) May 2, 2013
Warren Buffett joined Twitter on Thursday, announcing that “Warren is in the house.” Sorry, Bubba, as far as we know, Buffett’s secretary is not “in the house.”
