New Twitter BFFs? White House thanks BuzzFeed and Bill Clinton cozies up to Warren Buffett

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!

Srsly.

One way to get the White House to respond to the press: RT @whitehouse: @buzzfeed Thanks! / MT @BuzzFeed: Nice GIF, @WhiteHouse

Sigh.

Former President Bill Clinton is also on the hunt for a new Twitter pal.

.@WarrenBuffett Welcome to @Twitter. What took you so long?

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.”
