It's best known as the place to tell millions what you had for breakfast. But dispatches from North Korea's state news agency have begun popping up on Twitter.

A feed under the name "kcna-dprk" - acronyms of Pyongyang's state Korean Central News Agency and the country's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea - provides links to hundreds of the agency's English-language stories. The background of the Twitter page for the feed shows the North's red-and-blue national flag.

The totalitarian regime bans nearly all of its 24 million people from accessing the Internet in its attempt to control the flow of all outside information. Only high-ranking officials have access to the Web.

As of Friday, kcna-dprk had tweeted 562 stories - a handful each day since late April. It was last updated June 12 with an article about North Korea's No. 2 leader Kim Yong Nam sending a congratulatory message to Azerbaijan's president.
