Pope Gets Facebook Account

Web surfers can now send virtual postcards of Pope Benedict XVI to their Facebook friends or follw the pontiff's travel on their iPhones.

Under a papacy that has suffered communication woes, the Vatican is taking new, technologically savvy steps to bring its message to social networking sites and smart phones.

In its first day of operation Thursday, the Pope2You portal gathered some 45,000 contacts and 500,000 page view, the head of the project said.  The new Web site is the latest update in the Vatican's efforts to broaden the pope's audience and reach out to young people.

Can't wait to see the special papal emoticons.
