While this sure as heck ain’t a reason to unblock them in your school, both MySpace and Facebook are trying to convert users to the light side of the Force.  The two largest social networking sites have created links that allow people to register to vote through their websites.  Facebook has over 9 million users, most of which are  college aged.  MySpace has over 54 million unique monthly visitors.

In the last election, around 22% of the 18-24 year olds that registered to vote actually showed up to do so.  While this doesn’t guarantee that people will vote, the more people who are registered, the more people that possibly could. 

So once you’re done creating your accounts on MySpace and Facebook, add your students to your friends list and if they’re of voting age, leave them a comment reminding them to register!

• Teachers Behaving Like Middle Schoolers
• Bloggers Choice Awards
• Send a teacher to the Olympics!

I like facebook for social networking and keeping in touch with old friends but its no bueno when it comes to discovering bands. I find the layout of myspace to be nauseating so I’ve been using http://www.putiton.com to find and follow new music acts.
