In a startling turn of events, The New York Times is reporting that Chinese Prime Minsister Wen Jiabao (YES, THE WEN JIABAO) has created a facebook account. The title of the NYT piece is China Leader Makes Debut on Great Wall of Facebook. Funny Stuff. I am surprised it they passed over the equally witty: Chinese leader wove you Long time, Online. A breif excert from the story:
Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has jumped into the online social networking world with a page on Facebook, one of the most popular sites of its kind. As of early Wednesday, the page had about 13,000 “supporters.” It reflects the booming popularity of Mr. Wen, also known as “Grandpa Wen,” who flew to Sichuan Province hours after the May 12 earthquake there and traveled through the hardest-hit towns, expressing sympathy to victims all the way. He became the face of China’s grief.
The article goes on to note that there have been more than 500 postings on his wall, with the most popular being "GO CHINA!" The article also says he has less friends than Barack Obama (who has 812,000) but more than Princess Diana (who is dead). The most popular posting on her wall being "Hey look, I am friends with a corpse, yo!"
