This isn't really big news or anything of the sort, but you can definitely file this under the category of "EVERYBODY IS NOW ON FACEBOOK."
The Maryland Department of General Services, the state agency that manages state buildings and facilities, now has a Facebook account. To "friend" the agency, search for "Maryland DGS" on Facebook.
From a press release issued today:
"Facebook is one of the nation's premier new media venues and I believe it is imperative that we should use this valuable communications and networking tool to let those we do business with know that DGS stands for Doing Great Service," DGS Secretary Alvin C. Collins said.
Is it weird for some to be "friends" with a state agency? I'm interested to see how a state agency like DGS uses their new-found Facebook prowess.
