Benedict posts message on Catholic answer to Facebook

First came Facebook, the popular social networking site. Then, the believers’ version, Faithbook. And today Pope Benedict XVI made an unlikely addition to the ranks of social network users. He has posted for the first time a message on a networking site for young Roman Catholics, asking for prayer during his forthcoming visit to France. Each of the 35,000 users of Xt3.com (the letters stand for Christ in the third Millennium) today received a personalised version of this message from Pope Benedict (TimesOnline)
