A Fan of Big Brother? Facebook Launches Government Page

Politicians have been effectively using Facebook over the last election cycle, and now the company is moving deeper into government. Today, Facebook launched a “Facebook and Government” Page featuring best practices for how politicians and government bodies can use Facebook. Near the top, there are mentions of a new NATO Page and a “White House Live” presidential video stream widget.

It’s not clear how far Facebook is planning to go with its government efforts. The company has informally worked with politicians and other government types to help them understand how to make the most of the site.
