White House now on Facebook to Increase Transparency

Not to be outdone by the CDC, the White House has their site up and going and yes you can write on the “wall”. I didn’t see any Swine Flu on there, yet. The CDC site has plenty of that. Best picture on the site, the one with the dog! BD

CDC Now on Facebook….

During the campaign season, President Obama amassed a huge network of nearly 6 million Facebook fans of his public profile page to organize supporters and raise money. Recently, however, the President has refashioned his Facebook presence to highlight his efforts to govern and drive policy changes in Washington with the launch of the White House public profile.

The new presence, which launched last week, has grown substantially in the past few days. Just last Friday, it claimed around 31,000 fans. Since then, that number has surged to more than 172,000 fans.
