As I have a My Space page, I looked at the pages for Coca-Cola and The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery on FB.

Coke was the first soft drink in space. How about that. Must have put a kink in the day of the other soft drink manufacturers.

When Gary and I go out for a walk we pick up the aluminum cans we find. It's one of those recycling things, you know. We find lots of beer cans, of course, and a some pop cans. Of the pop cans we pick up darn few of them are Coke cans. What do you suppose that means?

As for the Smithsonian, that is one of the few that I miss about living back east. The collections that make up the Smithsonian are absolutely breath taking. The Hope Diamond. The Moon Rocks. Chuck's plane.

Their FB page is so jammed with all kinds of information (hours of operation), acknowledgment of the loss of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and what exhibits are currently on display. Nice work.

If you're a business or an organization trying to get the word out about your product, FB is a good place to do some fairly elabourate advertising with minimal expense.
