  1. Is it possible to have enemys on facebook? by alta · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just like /. I want to make obama my enemy. Mod him troll/off topic/flamebait.

    Guess I should prep myself for the poor mods ;) I think my excellent karma can take it though

    Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.

    We're just over 100 days in, people. How about "White House 2.0 RC1?" I don't think we're ready to go gold just yet.

    In keeping with the Obama administration's open adoption of modern American Pop Culture. The Whitehouse announced today of plans to start filming a new reality show called "Obama's BFF." The show will closely follow Obama in his search for a friendship with a world leader, akin to the Bush-Blair relationship. 16 world leaders will live in the Whitehouse for 8 weeks as they compete for Obama's friendship.

    Who will be America's next ally? Find out this summer, only on Fox.

      Barack of Love: President Obama tours the world in Air Force One with the other leaders present at the G-20 summit. They face off in a series of challenges designed to test their mettle, in a style reminiscent of American Gladiator meets Real World meets Bromance, to see who is worthy of becoming Obama's best friend and top advisor. 19 enter, one will remain... 8PM / 7 Central, only on Fox.

      In all seriousness though, I'm intrigued by the Twitter feed. Not so much the Facebook / MySpace thing.
