Facebook Goes to Washington

“we will be creating profiles for all sitting U.S. Representatives, Senators and state governors. Any politician who wants to maintain an ongoing relationship with their younger constituents will be able to on Facebook.” – From Ezra on the Facebook blog

Somehow I just can’t see Nancy Pelosi on Facebook.

Will the politico’s mini-feed cover votes? If they are our friends, will our mini-feeds cover their votes? Most importantly, will they post scandalous pictures of beerpong and drug use?

Exciting times ahead…

Second Avenue Deli Redux

The Second Avenue Deli is (possibly) reborn!

Well, that exclamation point is a bit forced. I never went there. I passed by years ago, unaware of the hooplah, and only realized what the big deal was recently. Then it closed. Too bad, I never got the chance to pay fifteen dollars for a corned beef and tongue sandwhich.

Anyway, a Brooklyn location might lower the prices and the tourist vibe. And, generally speaking, I have a pro-deli policy, so maybe the city will get lucky on this one.
