Facebook Facilitates Voter Registration
Doug September 26th, 2008
Facebook is known more for wasting people’s time than changing the world. The social network is at least taking one step in that second direction, though, with its new focus on getting people to vote. In addition to allowing users register to vote through a page on the site, ads will make the effort more visible. And a post on the Facebook Blog states, “We’re proud to announce that in the few hours since launching this initiative, thousands of users have registered to vote through Facebook.” Not bad at all.
