In a world driven by the blogosphere and social networking, many of us have become accustomed to seeing our friends, family, and co-workers online. I have a Facebook and so does my wife Cindy, along with corporations and even the United States Navy. Often we use these mediums as a means to stay in touch with people, to share what we would like of who we are, and increasingly as a means to disseminate information. After all, why not? So many of us spend an exorbitant amount of time on these sites that they have become the perfect platform for such things. Which leads me to my purpose for writing this particular submission. If you follow the embedded link in the title, it will lead you to an article the UK's BBC News website. It talks about Auschwitz, the most horrific concentration camp of WWII; not that any of them were any less horrific than the other. Well, more to the point it talks about Auschwitz and it's social networking endeavors. It's to have it's own Facebook page. That's right, I said own Facebook page. Auscwitz Museum official Pawel Sawicki stated "We're always trying for new ways of reaching people, and in today's world one of the most popular tools is the internet, and on the internet millions of people use Facebook". The concept is a smart one and the intentions good; I just hope that it works out in the way they envision.
