India's Ministry of Transport is putting me to shame. It plans to use Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. I still haven't made that leap.

The Ministry is going to use these social networking sites to educate people about road safety issues:

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and International Road Federation (IRF) are planning to use social networking websites including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to help reduce fatal accidents by 50 percent in the next three years, officials said on Monday.

"For generating mass awareness about road safety, apart from using traditional media tools including advertising, billboards, posters, modern web based social networking tools that include Facebook, blogs, Twitter and YouTube will be used to spread knowledge of road safety," K K Kapila, vice chairman of IRF, said here in a statement.
