"Can you hear me now?" Snowden said in his first tweet.
He has posted seven tweets so far.
Referring to the US Army base in Maryland that is the home of the NSA, he tweeted: "Meanwhile, a thousand people at Fort Meade just opened Twitter."
Snowden is currently staying in Russia since being granted asylum in the country.
He had escaped the USA in May 2013.
