Stories I’ve come across (mostly through awesome facebook friends I have) that I’ve liked:

• Gavin Newsom Uses Facebook, Twitter to Announce His Run for Governor [laist]
  A politician I like using social media for announcements?  Heck yeah!

• Dear Perez: Miss California Gave The Right Answer For The Moment [huffingtonpost]
  I stand by people having their own opinion, even if I don’t agree with it and hope that equality prevails over upbringing, but Perez (did I mention how I hate Perez Hilton?) was just not fair in his judgment and Mr. Charles Karel Bouley puts him in his place.
