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.
PopeAlarm.com when the white smoke goes up, you’ll know what’s going down.

Other Vatican chimney accounts:
Overcast/rainy conditions next 3 days will pose problems for deciphering the black and white. Will do my best to be clear! #chimneyprobz

Im about the only thing the media fully understands about a conclave. And even then not always. #Itsblackandwhitepeople

@ConclaveChimney even has its very own Twitter foe:
Conclave Stove is trying to bring back schismatics/lost sheep to the fold. Do you see the Chimney trying to do that? Nope. #stoveforthewin

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