Twitter, MySpace, Facebook Welcome the White House

Next time you’re posting a vacation picture of yourself at the Grand Canyon or typing a meaningless sentence about what you’re doing, cruise on over and see “what’s the haps” at the White House.

That’s right, news about President Obama, Vice President the whole crew now can be found on Twitter, MySpace and Facebook.

Thousands of people an hour are logging on to see what's going down in Washington. But so far, the payoff might not be that great. Many of the posts just go to existing material on the White House Web site. But those issues are getting a lot of comments from readers.

The N1H1 virus – don’t you dare call it the Swine flu anymore – seems to be the most popular topic thus far.
