Politics and Facebook

So I still don't see how well facebook interacted with the ABC debates on Saturday night, however facebook has become a hot bed for political awareness. Note I did not say activism because joining a facebook group (i.e. 1 Million Strong for Colbert) is not like the activism of the 1960's. I am not trying to sound cynical but the decision makers in Washington are not logging on as they consider their vote on the genocide in Darfur, or the apparent nuclear threat from Iran. 

DON'T stop joining these groups because its is a great way to network with others involved in the cause. However after joining if you really want to make a change, you need to stand up and say something. 

Now I did find some interesting research on InsideFacebook.com a blog that tracks whats happening on facebook. They performed a study on the spread of facebook in terms of political parties. FYI: Washington, D.C. has the highest number of registered users!
