State Department on Facebook?

It's true. In response to the American public's demand for a government they can "be part of," and that actually works, the U.S. Department of State has launched a Facebook page. The goal is to better "...engage the American people" and to allow them to share stories and express their views and concerns about foreign affairs issues. Subjects of posts for this week include comments on the flooding in Pakistan, USAID's progress towards meeting its goals, and transcripts of statements made by DOS officials. The page, which can be accessed without an account, provides valuable information, as well as links to State Department sites, and allows for comments by visitors on all posts. It can be accessed at:
