The SF Foreign Policy Examiner wrote yesterday on the arrival of online diplomacy:

"The State Department has its own social networking site, similar to Facebook. It's called ExchangesConnect and it is administered by the department's Bureau of Educational Cultural Affairs...it includes blog postings, photos, and videos from users across the world who discuss culture, language and global education programs. It's been running since December 2008. The State Department also has a blog, DipNote, where top-level officials discuss policies."
