The announcement that the White House would now join Twitter, Facebook and MySpace prompted Shadow Wrought on Slashdot.org to comment:

My wife and her High School friends use Facebook to stay in touch. Which seems to primarily revolve around sending drinks to each other. Transparency and reachability are certainly good, but, it does make you wonder how many people are going to send “buttery nipples” to the White House, and if that is actually a good thing or not.
