Pope Gets Facebook Account

Web surfers can now send virtual postcards of Pope Benedict XVI to their 
Facebook friends or follw the pontiff's travel on their iPhones.

Under a papacy that has suffered communication woes, the Vatican is taking new, 
technologically savvy steps to bring its message to social networking sites and 
smart phones.

In its first day of operation Thursday, the Pope2You portal gathered some 
45,000 contacts and 500,000 page view, the head of the project said.  The new 
Web site is the latest update in the Vatican's efforts to broaden the pope's 
audience and reach out to young people.

 Future efforts will include the pontiff making a guest appearance on "Dancing 
With the Stars,"  singing with Miley Cyrus, and sharing a beachfront home with 
Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Madonna, Britney Spears in the initial 
episode of "How I Spent My Summer Vacation."  

Can't wait to see the special papal emoticons.
