Christopher Simonelli in Court Today

Remember my little friend here that I heard about on the police scanner, my mom, the news, and then found on facebook?

Here he is boys! And he still has quite a following of supporters as I see by his wall. Good for them all, he needs all the support he can get.

I'm glad that the judge is being so harsh, he's right in the fact that this ordeal could have been devastatingly worse, in fact, it's almost a miracle it wasn't.

Again, my baby sister, mom, and grandmother all missed being in that chaos by only a minute or two.

Police: Box-trucker driver on PCP during East Side rampage

STAMFORD -- The city man who stole a box-truck from his employer and went on a destructive and violent drive through the East Side last month had drugs in his system when he was transported to Stamford Hospital, court records show.

Based on initial toxicology tests, police accident investigators believe Christopher Simonelli, 30, of Frederick Street, was on PCP during the alleged Nov. 16 rampage, which ended when he smashed into the side of a school bus carrying 27 Stamford High School students, injuring 12 of them.

Following a weeks-long investigation, Simonelli was arrested Thursday morning on a litany of felony charges, including several first-degree assault offenses and 25 counts of risk of injury to a minor.

Simonelli had been acting irrationally at his workplace before the incident, "posing topless" at work at one point, court papers show.

He stole the truck from his employer Action Letter, Inc., on Elm Court at 2:22 p.m. and then raced through the CTTransit bus maintenance facility there, police said.

The truck crashed through the rear gate of the CTTransit property, then hurtled north on Myrtle Avenue before turning west on East Main Street.

The accidents shut down a quarter-mile stretch of East Main Street from Glenbrook Road to Myrtle Avenue until 7:15 p.m., causing major gridlock throughout the downtown area.

A bearded Simonelli, who suffered life-threatening injuries and was extricated from the box-truck with power tools, made his court appearance in a wheelchair with a cut over his left eye and his right hand bandaged.

Defense attorney Lindy Urso said Simonelli broke both his legs in the series of car crashes. A search warrant included in his court file details his injuries, among them a broken right wrist, right thigh and right ankle.

State Superior Court Judge Richard Comerford ordered Simonelli be held on $150,000 bond, $50,000 higher than the amount requested by prosecutors.

Police arranged for Simonelli to be held at the University of Connecticut Medical Center in Farmington, a secure facility at which he can begin rehabilitating his serious injuries.

"This could have been many counts of manslaughter," Comerford said, explaining his reasons for increasing the bond amount. "This is a very serious matter."

A 15-year-old was seriously injured when Simonelli allegedly crashed into a car driven by her relatives, police said. She was originally transported to Stamford Hospital in critical condition because of a serious head injury, but her condition was quickly upgraded. She suffered a large cut to the left side of her head, above her left eye, that required 10 stitches and will likely leave a scar, court papers said.

A witness who followed Simonelli during his destructive drive told police he would accelerate after smashing into each car, saying that Simonelli was intentionally crashing into other vehicles, court papers show. The witness said Simonelli tried to reverse the box-truck after hitting a full-sized school bus, but the vehicle stalled because of extensive damage.

Three of the high school students on the bus were seriously injured. A male student who sat at the point of impact fractured his left shoulder blade. A female student lost consciousness as a result of the impact and kept passing out after Simonelli's alleged rampage. A second male student suffered a concussion in the crash and was told to refrain from sports for two weeks, court papers said.

Officers interviewed Simonelli's boss at Action Letter, Inc., Ellen Connery, an arrest warrant affidavit shows. She told police she saw Simonelli standing by his work station without his shirt sometime before the alleged rampage.

At one point, he took the keys for the truck and left the Elm Court business. She was unaware of any problems or arguments with Simonelli. In a follow-up interview, she said Simonelli was afraid of losing his job, but she had assured him he was not going to be laid off.

In addition to the initial drug tests, Stamford police investigators had a department mechanic inspect the box-truck. The mechanic could not check several objects because they were damaged, but he concluded the truck was well-maintained.

Simonelli is due back in court Jan. 11.

More Details on Crash Spree

STAMFORD -- An angry 30-year-old Stamford man took a box truck from his workplace after a fight with his girlfriend and left a wake of mangled sedans, vans, parking meters, signs and garbage cans on the city's East Side before smashing into a bus filled with high school students Tuesday afternoon.

The driver, identified by his employer as Christopher Simonelli, crashed into 12 cars on Myrtle Avenue and East Main Street and was listed in critical condition at Stamford Hospital with life-threatening injuries, authorities said.

A female driver of a sedan struck by Simonelli near the corner of East Main and North State streets was also listed in critical condition, police said.

A nursing supervisor at Stamford Hospital told the Associated Press that 22 others were treated for minor injuries.

"He had a cigarette in his mouth and two hands on the wheel," said Dominick Colandro, the 48-year-old owner of Rinaldi's Deli on East Main Street. "He was in a rage. It looked like he was on a mission."

Witnesses described a scene in which an angry-looking Simonelli used the white box truck to hit car after car and take out meters and signs on the sidewalk before ending his crazed drive by running into a school bus.

"There's a tremendous amount of damage," Police Capt. Brian McElligott said. "He hit everything that could be hit."

Criminal charges have not been filed against Simonelli because he is in the hospital, said Stamford Police Chief Robert Nivakoff. The accident is still under investigation.

Several bystanders called 911 to report the string of car accidents around 2 p.m., McElligott said.

Simonelli allegedly got into a fight with his girlfriend and took the truck from his employer, Action Letter Inc., on Elm Court and then raced through the CTTransit bus maintenance facility there. The truck crashed through the rear gate of the CTTransit property and then hurtled north on Myrtle Avenue before turning west on East Main Street.

The accident shut down a quarter-mile stretch of East Main Street from Glenbrook Road to Myrtle Avenue until 7:15 p.m. causing major gridlock throughout the downtown area.

At the scene, firefighters extricated Simonelli from the torn-up box truck. At least a dozen of the 27 Stamford High School students on the bus went to the hospital with minor injuries, police and school officials said.

School district spokeswoman Sarah Arnold said a second bus took the students and a driver to the hospital, where Principal Donna Valentine met them and contacted families of the students on the bus.

Gus Gustavo-Ortiz, a 29-year-old East Main Street resident who lives in an apartment overlooking where the box truck hit the school bus, said he heard a loud bang and looked outside to find the chaos of the accident scene. He walked to the accident site and saw a high school student exit the bus with a bruised face. He helped the student brush broken glass bits from his hair.

He could only see a hand hanging out from the mangled cab of the box truck, moments before firefighters arrived and freed Simonelli.

"I thought this guy was dead," Gustavo-Ortiz said, adding that Simonelli screamed as he was loaded onto the stretcher.

Colandro said from outside his deli he saw hundreds of bystanders gather around the accident site moments after it ended.

Svitlana Shevchuk of Stamford was making a left turn off of Myrtle Avenue and heading westbound under the railroad bridge on East Main Street when Simonelli cracked into the left rear of her green Dodge Caravan, causing minor damage.

Shevchuk had no idea that the part time employee just struck at least three other cars while driving the box truck north on Myrtle.

"We did not see where he was coming from -- he was like a ghost," she said.

After Simonelli hit the minivan he stepped on the gas, Shevchuk said. Just then, UBS employee Robert Jacobs, 34, was running a quick errand in his black Lexus and driving in the opposite direction on East Main Street.

"I saw him hit that car and I thought that was strange that he hit the car and kept on going. Then he turned the truck toward me and accelerated," Jacobs said. For a second Jacobs thought of making a quick dash across East Main and turning left on Crystal Street to avoid the oncoming truck.

"I decided to stay and I put my hands on the wheel and held on for dear life and hope that he didn't kill me. And he didn't kill me," said a shaken Jacobs standing next to his unrecognizable car that was pushed into a dump truck with the front end smashed in. Jacobs said he and another man got out of their cars and chased the box truck up the street until they saw it collide with the school bus and stop. Jacobs said he did not want the guy driving the truck to get away with the hit and run and wanted to take a picture of the truck with his cell phone.

"My neck is killing me," he said moments before he was put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital.

Delivery driver Jason Gabie from Harrison, N.Y. said he was making a delivery to Rinaldi's deli on East Main Street when he saw Simonelli's truck barreling down the street.

He saw the truck crash into Jacob's Lexus and crash into two or three other cars, some coming from the other direction.

Then Gabie said the truck veered onto the sidewalk, tear two parking meters off their posts and then swing around to the other side of the street where it struck the school bus in front of Brake Centers of America, just east of Quintard Terrace.

Gabie said the driver had a cigarette in his mouth and he looked very angry.

"I was scared until he passed me, but I was more scared when he hit the bus," Gabie said.

A CTTransit guard said the box truck came through the open front gate of the bus maintenance facility at the end of Elm Court and crashed through the locked rear gate that exits directly across from La Marqueta grocery store at 54 Myrtle Ave. From there Simonelli turned left and proceeded north on Myrtle.

Next door to the maintenance facility a woman who works for Action Letter, Inc., at 11 Elm Court said that Simonelli is a part time employee and has been working for her company for about six months.

The woman, who would not identify herself, said she had no idea why Simonelli took the truck and had no idea about his breaking up with a girlfriend. She said she told the police the box truck was stolen.

"It is tragic," the woman said. "It is really tragic."

Facebook Page Prompts Police To Reopen '84 Cold Case

LYNBROOK, NY (WPIX) — Nassau County police say recent postings on the social networking site Facebook have prompted them to reopen a case of a missing child that was left unsolved for more than 20 years.

Kelly Morrissey disappeared on Jun 12, 1984 after buying cigarettes at a Lynbrook gas station. The attendant was the last person who reported seeing the 15-year-old, police said.

During the months following her disappearance, two other girls went missing - one was a friend of Morrissey, police said. Both girls were later found dead. Detective say determined that the young women had been raped and strangled.

In the death of Morrissey's friend, Theresa Fusco, police arrested three suspects who were convicted in her killing, but those convictions were eventually overturned.

Now police have been paying close attention to a Facebook page about Hot Skates Rink in Lynbrook, where Morrissey used to hang out regularly. There have not yet been any specific clues, police say, but they are hopeful that by starting a conversation new information will come to light.

Discussion topics on the rink's Facebook page such as "Former & Current Staff" and "Back In The Day," piqued the interest of authorities several months ago when several Facebook friends brought up the disappearances.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact 1-800-244-TIPS. There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to the case's resolution, police say.

Baby Killed For Interrupting Facebook Time

And my boyfriend said I was obsessed with the game..

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A north Florida mother has pleaded guilty to shaking her baby to death after the boy's crying interrupted her game on Facebook.

Alexandra V. Tobias pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on Wednesday and remains jailed.

The Florida Times-Union reports that she told investigators she was angered because the boy was crying while she was playing the game FarmVille.

The paper also reports that she told investigators she shook the boy, smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again.

She will be sentenced in December. State guidelines call for 25 to 50 years, but a prosecutor said it could be shorter than that.

A telephone message and an e-mail sent by The Associated Press to her attorney weren't immediately returned.

Rutgers Student's Facebook Status: "Jumping off the gw bridge"

F*cked-up...
Gothamist- Authorities have released the identity of the 18-year-old victim of a sick internet broadcast as Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi, a talented violinist.

Two other freshmen, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, have been accused of invasion of privacy for broadcasting a hidden-camera video of Clementi during a sexual encounter on the Internet, which allegedly led to Clementi's suicide last week. He reportedly wrote on his Facebook page on September 22nd, "Jumping off the gw bridge sorry." His family released this statement:

Tyler was a fine young man, and a distinguished musician. The family is heartbroken beyond words. They respectfully request that they be given time to grieve their great loss and that their privacy at this painful time be respected by all. The family and their representatives are cooperating fully with the ongoing criminal investigations of two Rutgers University students.

One Rutgers student called the alleged spying "extremely obscene," while another said, "I mean we all live in such close conditions with each other, it’s like breach of privacy…I think it’s gross." According to Ravi's Twitter account, which has since been deleted, Clementi asked Ravi to have the room to himself on the night of September 19th. Ravi then set up his webcam and went to Wei's room, where he watched the feed and saw Clementi "making out with a dude." Student Tiwa Adediji said, “It's my dorm. It's my private space. I expect...my privacy to be respected and to be able to do whatever I want. There should be no one there invading my privacy."

Police have not yet found a body in connection with Clementi's suicide, but Ridgewood high school (Clementi's alma mater) principal John A. Lorenz told parents, "We have been informed by a family spokesperson that Tyler Clementi, Class of 2010, has been reported missing. We remain in contact with the family and law enforcement agencies and will keep you informed as we receive updates." Clementi's RA, Daryl Chan, said, "His roommate was a very tech-savvy-type dude. He set up cameras all over the room and didn't tell him. A lot of the RAs are troubled by it."

California Mom Finds Missing Children Using Facebook

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — A Southern California mother whose two children were reported missing 15 years ago has tracked them down in Florida using Facebook.

San Bernardino Deputy District Attorney Kurt Rowley says Faustino Utrera, the father of the boy and girl, took off with them in 1995 when they were ages 2 and 3.

Rowley says recently the mother typed one of the children's names into Facebook and a listing for her daughter, now a teenager, came up.

The mom contacted authorities, who tracked the Facebook profile to Orlando, Fla.

Utrera was arrested and charged with kidnapping and violating child custody orders.

The Florida Department of Children & Families says the mom is trying to build a new relationship with the children.

Cheaters! Liars! Scoundrels!

(CNN) -- Before the explosion of social media, Ken Altshuler, a divorce lawyer in Maine, dug up dirt on his client's spouses the old-fashioned way: with private investigators and subpoenas. Now the first place his team checks for evidence is Facebook.

Consider a recent story of a female client in her 30s, who came to Altshuler seeking a divorce from husband. She claimed her husband, an alcoholic, was drinking again. The husband denied it. It was her word against his word, Altshuler says, until a mutual friend of the couple stumbled across Facebook photos of the husband drinking beer at a party a few weeks earlier.

It was the kind of "gotcha moment" Altshuler knew would undermine the husband's credibility in court. His firm presented the photos to the judge, and the wife won the case in April, he said.

"Facebook is a great source of evidence," Altshuler said. "It's absolutely solid evidence because he's the author of it. How do you deny that you put that on?"

Social media stalking skills have become invaluable to the legal world for divorce cases in particular. Online photo albums, profile pages, wall comments, status updates and tweets have become gold mines for evidence and leads. Today, divorce and family law firms routinely cull information posted on social media sites -- the flirty exchanges with a paramour, unsavory self-revelations and compromising photographs -- to buttress their case.

Posting hugging and kissing photos online can show a happily married relationship, or it can expose a secretive affair. At least 80 percent of attorneys surveyed by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers cited a growth in the number of cases that used social media over the last five years. The study was released earlier this year.

Divorce attorneys say social media sites have opened windows for infidelity because it's become easier to rekindle romance with an old flame or flirt with a stranger. And the posted, shared, and tagged evidence of infidelity is precisely the type of evidence attorneys look for online.

"You need to familiarize yourself with privacy settings to ensure there is no way personal information can be accessed," said Adam Ostrow, editor in chief of Mashable.com, a social media guide.

Facebook -- where attorneys find most of the evidence and leads -- has gradually relaxed privacy settings over the last year. Attorneys say that enabled some members' personal details to be leaked without the user realizing it, attorneys say. On May 26th, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged the problem and, in a blog, announced new tools making it easier for users to tighten privacy settings and block outside parties from seeing personal information.

"It's becoming all but impossible to protect your information unless you spend hours and hours figuring it out," said Lee Rosen, a divorce attorney in North Carolina, who added he reaped the benefits of the tricky privacy controls in a recent case.

Rosen was investigating a North Carolina husband in his 40s accused of cheating on his wife. The husband failed to set privacy controls on his Facebook wall, an area where users can post information. Rosen noticed a suspicious message from the husband's younger female co-worker. The post was the hunch he needed to steer him in right direction.

Rosen reports about a quarter of his divorce cases use information found on social media sites.

It's becoming all but impossible to protect your information unless you spend hours and hours figuring it out.

--Lee Rosen, North Carolina divorce attorney
Finding the Facebook profiles is so simple that Rosen says anyone could do it. He goes to a site called Flowtown.com, a site intended for marketers but is useful for attorneys, too. Type an e-mail address and the site generates various social media profiles. If that fails, Rosen hires a private investigator.

At National Digital Forensics, Inc., a North Carolina company that mines digital sites for information, requests for social media searches from divorce lawyers have surged, says president and senior digital investigator Giovanni Masucci. The social media detective work requires different snooping skills, he says.

"For example, someone may be cheating, but they are married," Masucci explained. "If their status on the web page says single, that's a major red flag."

Masucci estimated about half the social media cases they investigate expose some kind of cheating.

The happy reality for divorce attorneys is that most clients are bound to be on Facebook or another social media site. Facebook is more popular than ever, drawing in 400 million users, the company reports on its website. Each user creates an average of 70 pieces of content monthly and has an average of 130 friends.

The most common way to gather information on Facebook relies on the battling couple's mutual online friends who still have access to the spouse's profile. Many times the spouse will "de-friend" a partner but forget about their shared friends, who can play detective and access information on their profile.

Another way of exposing damaging information is searching the profiles of the suspected "other man" or "other woman", says says Marlene Eskind Moses, a divorce attorney in Tennessee.

"It's amazing how people tell their life stories," said Moses, who represented a Tennessee woman who believed her husband was cheating on her. After the wife found herself blocked from her husband's Facebook page, she found the profile page of the other woman whom she suspected in the affair.

On that woman's profile page, a public album of photos taken on a romantic getaway appeared. Scenic shots of South Carolina's mountains. Her husband and another woman embracing in front of an art gallery. Portraits of the couple with their faces nuzzled close together.

Elizabeth K. Englander, professor of psychology at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts, says people divulge information on social media because they believe no one will ever see the information they post.

"The sense online is sort of like the mob effect," Englander said. "You feel like you're one in a million, and so who will ever notice you?"

But when someone does notice, that's when some divorce attorneys pounce. Information copied from social media sites can sway the outcome of alimony payment disputes and custody fights, attorneys say. Some parents have even lost a child because of the behavior they exhibited online, the lawyers say.

The ultimate goal, after all, is to catch a spouse in a lie. Sometimes it's a wife claiming she can't afford child support payments but subsequently purchased expensive jewelry and posted photos of the items on Facebook. Or if a husband who claims he doesn't have anger problems while his social media profile is loaded with expletives. Once there is evidence of a person caught in an obvious lie, attorneys say, it undermines the rest of their credibility with the judge.

Attorneys advise users of Facebook and other social media who are headed toward a divorce or custody battle to edit their profiles, be cautious about updating statuses and double check to see who is really a "friend."

Or to make things easier -- at least until the trial is over or a settlement is reached -- just get off Facebook completely.

Grandmother Charged With Murder of 6-Year-Old

WYLIE, Texas -- The grandmother of a 6-year-old boy whose body was found near a North Texas lake last week has been arrested on a murder charge.

Darlene Phillips, the boy's maternal grandmother and primary caregiver, was arrested Friday night and remained in the Collin County Detention Facility in McKinney on Saturday.

Her bail was set at $500,000.

Wylie investigators confirmed the identity of the boy late Friday as Gerren Joseph Isgrigg.

His body was found April 15 near a Collin County lake.

Police think the body was abandoned less than 24 hours before it was found.

Police have said he was small for his age, weighing just 28 pounds, and had "significant medical needs."

He showed signs of having had a feeding tube.

"Gerren was not taken care of well," Wylie Detective Venece Perepiczka told The Dallas Morning News, adding that the boy was not physically able to care for himself.

Autopsy results are pending, but police have said there were no obvious injuries.

Police have not said where the 63-year-old Phillips lived.

Police said the boy's parents are separated, with his father living in California and his mother living in Oklahoma.

The names of the parents were not released.

Police said a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's hotline led to Gerren's identification.

The discovery of his body had touched many, with a candlelight vigil Thursday bringing hundreds of people to a Wylie park to pray for answers to his identity.

A "Wylie's Angel" Facebook page has seen membership grow to 44,000.

R.I.P. McKenzie...

I followed this baby's ups and downs through the facebook group page "Pray for McKenzie".
She is now in heaven, a real angel...

From the Tallahassee Newspaper:

2-year-old McKenzie Bailey dies after long battle with illness

McKenzie Bailey touched everyone that she met.

She was a 2-year-old that meant more to her family, friends, and doctors than she would she ever know.

McKenzie had neonatal Marfan syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissue. Her tissue was very flexible, which made her heart and lungs much larger than average. Her chest cavity was so large that her lungs have moved her heart to her lower right abdomen.

McKenzie died Wednesday afternoon at Shands Hospital in Gainesville after a rough few weeks of another hospital admittance.

She might have lost her battle, but those that knew the little girl that loved to play and give kisses will always have her in their heart.

"She has taught me to cherish every moment you have," said McKenzie's mother, Jennifer Bailey. "I have no regrets, I would do it all over again if I could."

"I am going to miss her smile and her kisses. She loved to give kisses," Jennifer said, who is now home with her family.

Jennifer and her husband, Ashley fought hard for their only child.

In January, the Baileys asked the Tallahassee community for help to find adequate transportation that would get McKenzie to Johns Hopkins, where there was a doctor willing to do the surgery she needed.

But McKenzie was never able to get to Baltimore. Her health was just too risky for transportation.

Since January, her health had its ups and downs with constant doctor and hospital visits.

Jailbreak Fugitive Updates Facebook Page

London, England (CNN) -- British police have appealed for information about the whereabouts of an escaped prisoner who has been telling the world via Facebook about his life as a fugitive.

Craig Lynch, 28, escaped Hollesley Bay open prison near Suffolk, eastern England, back in September, but has continued to update his Facebook status regularly -- describing everything from his meals to who his next girlfriend will be.

"mmm i just had a 12lb venison steak. Roasted veg and chips, bangin meal. I feel stuffed but still got room for the j.d's . Hope you enjoyed the meal babe's. We'll have to eat here again" Lynch wrote on his wall.

In another posting from earlier this week Lynch wrote "Is thinkin, which lucky girl will be my first of 2010!!."

Police are trying to use clues left by Lynch on his Facebook to track down where the convicted burglar may be hiding.

Lynch was sentenced to a seven-year prison term for aggravated burglary and was serving his sentence in an open prison before his escape, according to a police spokeswoman.

"We have spoken to Facebook and we are trying to trace him from the information we have, but it's one of those things that we're also asking for help from members of the public," Suffolk police spokesperson Anne-Marie Breach told CNN.

"Obviously we're taking what he's saying on Facebook with a pinch of salt because he's now aware that people may be reading what he's writing."

News that Lynch's Facebook was being updated broke yesterday and since then, he has written several times of his life on-the-run.

"The hotel staff haven't even clocked which was the only thing I've been paranoid about all day!" he wrote.

Lynch's most recent posting read "well what can i say fellow friends. The run is nearly over. Sorry some of you had to find out like this. I know some of you might take offence that i never told you personally. But you know me. I Trust No One. Its the only way to be."

EMT Charged With Posting Photo of Corpse on Facebook

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A New York City emergency medical technician is facing misdemeanor charges after being accused of taking a picture of a female murder victim and then posting it to his Facebook page.

Mark Musarella, 49, was in court Thursday awaiting arraignment on charges of misdemeanor official misconduct. The retired New York Police detective is accused of posting the picture of a 26-year-old woman's corpse. The woman was found strangled with a hair-dryer cord March 30 on Staten Island, according to authorities, and a 28-year-old man has been charged in her death.

According to Musarella's lawyer, Edward J. Pavia Jr., the appearance of the photo on the social networking site was a technical mistake and not a morbid act. Pavia said years of working as a detective instinctively led Musarella to take the picture after he was called to the scene of the death.

"He's deeply sorry for any pain this incident has caused the family of the victim," Pavia told CNN by phone Thursday evening. "The posting of the photo was completely inadvertent, done completely by accident."

When asked how a photo could accidentally be posted to a Facebook page, Pavia said his client sent the photo along with many others on his camera phone without realizing it was still there.

"We will be able to prove very easily that this photo wasn't sent by itself, " said Pavia, adding that Musarella spent 20 years with the NYPD, and he was cited numerous times for honorable work.

Despite media reports that Musarella was fired from his job as an EMT at Richmond University Medical Center Hospital in Staten Island, Pavia insisted Musarella quit the job about three weeks ago.

How True..

White House joins Facebook, MySpace, Twitter

"Awesome, totally awesome!"
The official White House Blog calls it "WhiteHouse 2.0." The administration is unveiling its membership in a trio of the social-networking leaders today: Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. How do the accounts look shortly after launch?

The Facebook page already has more than 38,000 fans, and the number appears to jump another thousand every few minutes at this hour. The MySpace page is a highly stylized version of designs typically seen on the service, with 5,300 friends and counting. "A quick glance at the profiles shows that they mostly just link to or copy entries on the existing WhiteHouse.gov blog, but they welcome comments and are quickly gathering thousands of fans," PaidContent.org says.


TechCrunch offers initial analysis of the MySpace page: "There are no ads on the page, but if you click through to photos page, then you do get some ads. The add beside this photo of the president running down a hallway with his daughter's puppy has an ad that says, 'Pimp My Profile.' Not very Presidential. On Facebook, there is an ad slot on the actual page, but I only saw a house ad for Facebook's gift shop with a penguin. ... The Facebook page basically has the same information, but presented as a stream. Which one do you like better?"

The @whitehouse Twitter feed so far has more than 10,000 followers and retweeted a swine-flu alert from the CDC. Information about the H1N1 virus is the most common theme across the White House's uses of the services today.

"Hopefully, these pages will follow the same pattern as the administration's other web efforts -- they start out underwhelming, but improve eventually," Venture Beat writes. The blog's underwhelmed headline is "Meet White House 2.0, same as White House 1.0 (but on Twitter!)"

Twitter Is For Twits. Or Twats. LOL

I still can't understand twitter.

Why do I feel necessary to own like a million different accounts for networking sites?
