It's hard for many young people in Bermuda to believe, but the island nation's top government official really does want to be their friend -- their Facebook friend, that is.

Politicians on social networking Web sites are nothing new. Every 2008 candidate from Joe Biden to John McCain can be found on Facebook and MySpace, but users certainly don't expect Barack Obama to be managing his own message queue and user profile.

Likewise, Bermudans didn't expect the premier himself to reply to their inquiries, but that's exactly what he did.
