Facebook on the campaign trail
Looks like college students are in for a more engaged future as we ramp up for the 2006 election cycle. Facebook has an all-new political campaign tool, with which candidates can post profiles and issue groups can create, well, issue groups.
For instance, check out Evan Bayh's profile.
Notice that candidates can join Election 2006 groups to show off their issue interests, just as any other use can. Their profiles are also open to comments and picture links, posing some real options for issue advocates to get involved, perhaps engaging in some online birddogging until a candidate joins their group. It's not like getting a campaign promise, but probably a good way to get your issue out there to the candidate's supporters.
I see lots of interesting things ahead.

Also new (or recent, perhaps, as I don't check the site as often as most), is Religious Views on Facebook. Coincidence?
