The Queen Joins Facebook
H3xx writes "The Queen is set to have an official presence on Facebook when a British Monarchy page launches on the internet-based social networking site. Buckingham Palace says it is not a personal profile page, but users can 'like' the service and receive updates on their news feed. The Queen has reportedly embraced the web and sends e-mails. A British Monarchy Twitter feed is also available. The Facebook page is due to go live from Monday morning. The page will also feature the Court Circular, recording the previous day's official engagements."
I'm an American that's been living in Canada for 5 years. The monarchy is crap. All you get is an absentee head of state that shows up every few years or so to do a guest star appearance and that royal wave. Just ditch it and save the tax money. Think of something cool, like fractals, to put on the money instead of the Queen's bust. Besides, who wants to be ruled by a man that wanted to be a tampon?
