Facebook Accepts Government’s Friend Request

Got a beef with the USDA?

Want to send a message to the U.S. Postal Service?

Do you “like” the National Nuclear Security Administration?

Now you can let them (and all of your digital friends) know how you feel. The popular social networking site Facebook launched its “Congress on Facebook” page Thursday, which they bill as a one stop shop for members’ official pages. A “Facebook and Government” page connects citizens to the official pages of state, local, and federal agencies.

The pages bill themselves as a source for sharing ways that the government can best use Facebook to communicate. More and more lawmakers and government agencies are using the popular site to reach constituents.

And as an unintended bonus for journalists, we’ll now be able to disguise our non-work Facebook browsing with the click of a button. Thanks Facebook!


So far no one has uploaded any photos of a wild night on the town or a day at the beach with any lawmakers, but Facebook tends to be a place where candid camera shots tend to end up in the morning. Folks inside the Beltway have their BlackBerries, iPhones, and digital cameras at the ready, so stay posted.

MUSEUM Tsunami Aceh kembali jadi sorotan. Kali ini, Wakil Menteri Kependudukan dan Pembangunan Keluarga ( Wamen Dukbangga ) atau Wakil Kepala BKKBN , Ratu Ayu Isyana Bagoes Oka , berkunjung langsung untuk melihat bagaimana museum kebanggaan masyarakat Aceh ini terus hidup sebagai pusat edukasi kebencanaan, Kamis, 9 Oktober 2025.  Didampingi Ketua TP PKK Aceh Marlina Usman, kunjungan ini bukan sekadar seremoni. Isyana menegaskan bahwa museum ini punya peran strategis: bukan hanya monumen peringatan tsunami 2004 , tapi juga ruang belajar generasi muda tentang kesiapsiagaan bencana dan ketangguhan keluarga. “Museum ini jadi pengingat dahsyatnya tsunami 2004, sekaligus tempat belajar bagi generasi yang saat itu belum lahir. Mereka perlu tahu apa yang harus dilakukan saat bencana datang,” ujar Isyana, yang juga mengenang pengalamannya meliput langsung Aceh pascatsunami 20 tahun lalu. Kepala UPTD Museum Tsunami Aceh M Syahputra AZ, menyambut hangat kunjungan ini. Ia menegaskan bahw...

Kerajaan Jeumpa, Kerajaan Islam Pertama Nusantara

Teori tentang kerajaan Islam pertama di Nusantara sampai saat ini masih banyak diperdebatkan oleh para peneliti, baik cendekiawan Muslim maupun non Muslim. Umumnya perbedaan pendapat tentang teori ini didasarkan pada teori awal mula masuknya Islam ke Nusantara. Mengenai teori Islamisasi di Nusantara, para ahli sejarah terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok besar, yaitu pendukung (i) Teori Gujarat (ii) Teori Parsia dan (iii) Teori Mekah (Arab). Bukan maksud tulisan ini untuk membahas teori-teori tersebut secara mendetil, namun dari penelitian yang penulis lakukan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Teori Mekkah (Arab) lebih mendekati kebenaran dengan fakta-fakta yang dikemukakan. Teori Mekkah (Arab) hakikatnya adalah koreksi terhadap teori Gujarat dan bantahan terhadap teori Persia. Di antara para ahli yang menganut teori ini adalah T.W. Arnold, Crawfurd, Keijzer, Niemann, De Holander, SMN. Al-Attas, A. Hasymi, dan Hamka. i Arnold menyatakan para pedagang Arab menyebarkan Islam ketika mereka mendo...

Turns out that pictures have been deeply undervalued: A single photo can cost you your reputation, your job, even your freedom--if you post it online. Teachers, principals, firefighters, mayors, university presidents, and everyday people have all discovered the dark side of putting the wrong photos and videos on social networking sites.

Here's our dirty dozen--12 pictures their owners probably wish they could take back. 1. Hey Kevin, Tinker Bell Wants Her Outfit Back It's bad enough to dress up like you're about to slip a dollar under some toothless child's pillow. But former intern Kevin Colvin made it much worse by asking his boss at Anglo Irish Bank if he could take time off for a "family emergency in New York," then flitting o...
