Washington - North Korea may think its new Twitter and You Tube accounts will be a prime platform for anti-US propaganda, but the Obama administration says the world's most secretive regime may have bitten off more than it can chew by joining the networked world.

State Department spokesperson PJ Crowley said on Tuesday that the US welcomed North Korea to the social media forums but challenged its authoritarian leaders to allow its citizens full access to the sites, as most other governments do. And, he said that Pyongyang's elite had underestimated the power they had unleashed.
