Of course, as everyone who's ever seen the famous meme-spawning photo knows, Hillary Clinton loves texting. Now we can add tweeting to the mix.

The former secretary of state and possible democratic presidential front-runner has officially joined Twitter.

"Thanks for the inspiration @ASmith83 & @Sllambe - I'll take it from here... #tweetsfromhillary," read Clinton's first tweet, which gave shoutouts to Adam Smith and Stacy Lambe, the cocreators of the now defunct but eternally popular Tumblr homage Texts From Hillary.

On her Twitter page, Clinton humorously describes herself in her bio as a "wife, mom, lawyer, women & kids advocate, FLOAR, FLOTUS, US Senator, SecState, author, dog owner, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, glass ceiling cracker, TBD…"

Who knows what that "To Be Determined" is all about.

But marking the famed politician's arrival in the Twitterverse was daughter, Chelsea Clinton, and husband Bill Clinton, both of whom quickly retweeted her.

"@ChelseaClinton Welcome Mom!" tweeted the younger Clinton.

"@billclinton Does @Twitter have a family share plan? Great to be here with @HillaryClinton & @ChelseaClinton. Looking forward to #tweetsfromhillary," wrote the 42nd president.

We can't wait to see what she tweets next.
