Myspace Israel

Yup, diplomacy is dead. Israel is the hip-new cool place to be on Myspace. I only wish I had a page so I can make Israel, Mexico, and England my top three friends.

Israel goes on the virtual offensive
"We saw that we had a problem with the age group of 18 to 35, and the reason is that this group doesn't see Israel as relevant. So we have to talk to them in their language, in platforms that they are using, and the new media is one of the ways to do so." In addition to the MySpace page, the state of Israel also now has its own blog -- the first country-as-a-whole to have one, according to Saranga. The blog is called "isRealli" so as to incorporate the word "real." It also sports the slightly odd subtitle, "The New Blog of Israel."
