I shall be contacting all our MPs who are blogging shortly and questioning them about the reasons why they started and their personal experiences, if thy feel it has helped improve two-way communication. I’m also interested to know whether they feel it could mean the end of political spin.

It is a research project I have chosen for my CIPR diploma in Public Relations. I wondered if you read any MPs’ blogs, which ones you prefer and why.

Do you have any idea the total number who are blogging? Why not hazard a guess, I’ll tell you how close you are.

Some of the best of Britain’s brains are hoping to make No 1 with this song. And they stand a good chance of breaking into the charts if all goes according to plan. Cambridge University students took a break from their arduous dissertations to record the “On the Facebook” song.

It is a fun song describing their student lives and, according to Facebook, has now been heard by more than 1 million people. This is one of the latest messages on Facebook:

“On the Facebook” was written in 2006 by Pete Foggitt and Tommy Hewitt Jones. It’s now been heard by over a million people. Watch the video below.

Here’s the plan. Everyone waits until Monday the 11th of June, then we all buy it from iTunes (price: 79p). It’s got to happen in the first few days of that week in order to maximise the impact on the chart.

At the moment, we’re guaranteed a place in the Top 40 (if not the Top 20) - and as soon as it gets radio/video play, it’ll continue to climb the charts. Especially if Chris Moyles likes it.”

Are you going to help them repeat the Lily Allen viral networking experience? Do you think they will knock The Zimmers off their perch?

Hat tip Serena.

Stephanie Condon was babysitting two toddlers at her cousin’s house in Myrtle Creek, Oregon in October 1998 when she was last seen aged 14. Her family thinks it is highly unlikely that the honors student ran away and police also suspect foul play.

A man who was 28 at the time admitted he had visited Stephanie the night she disappeared, but denies abducting or harming her. His vehicle was seen in the area the same night and he sold a handgun shortly after her disappearance, but no direct evidence has been found to link him with her disappearance.

She was last seen wearing a pair of Wiinnie the Pooh pyjamas. A reward of $10,000 has been offered by the FBI.

In memory of those who are still missing.
