Pope Benedict XVI, after launching a YouTube channel last year dives in to Social Media & Networking by launching a facebook and iphone app.
The Vatican is describing the facebook app like this:
“Pope2You for Facebook lets you receive the messages of Pope Benedict XVI through the most important social network of the world. So you can meet the Pope on Facebook, listen to his words, see his pictures, receive his messages of congratulations through “virtual postcards”. The postcards can be sent to your “friends” on Facebook and the application can be shared with anyone.”
The objective of the iPhone app is to broadcast the Popes messages as well:
“The H2Onews application for the iPhone and iPod Touch brings you timely, insightful news about the life of the Church in the world. In collaboration with the Vatican Television Center and Vatican Radio,H2Onews connects you with video and audio news from the Vatican.”
I’m anxiously awaiting the pope on twitter.
