NEW POPE APPLICATION..
'Pope2You' allows users to send photos of pontiff and message excerpts


VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI has entered the world of social networking sites and smartphones with a Vatican portal that includes Facebook and iPhone applications.

The Pope2You Web site was launched Thursday and allows Facebook users to send virtual postcards with photos of Benedict and excerpts from his messages. An application for iPhone and iPod Touch gives surfers video and audio news on the pope's travels and speeches, as well as on Catholic events worldwide.

What do you guys think? Should more world leaders do this? Would this make it easier for people in the world to keep up with our world's leaders?

iPope- that's a good one.  

Yea, it will definitely it easier for people to keep up with their leaders. THis would be a great advantage to all kinds of leaders if they did this because then more people will be aware of what's going on and what they're doing.   

And i wouldn't be surprise if soon you could follow the Pope on twitter.

Interestingly, there was an article in Newsweek just this week about the Pope needing to do a better PR campaign for himself:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/197352

could this be a response?

or is it perhaps more geared toward addressing the fallout of his recent trip to Israel and comments about AIDS in Africa?
