One of the posts that continues to get ongoing traffic on the I Choose Indy site is the one about Extreme Home Makeover coming to Indy.

There’s now confirmation of a little bit more of the details and they sound good. The IBJ.com has announced that Estridge has been chosen as the builder behind the project. The deserving family will be notified on March 27th.

ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will be filming the Indianapolis build as their special 2-hour season finale episode.

Estridge has already setup a special section on their website for more information. They’re taking further advantage of the social media scene by allowing you to follow their build on twitter and Facebook as well.

Browsing through the friends of a friend on Facebook I noticed he was friends with Mayor Greg Ballard and Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.

If you’re in Indianapolis, are you friends with your local politicians? Are they on Facebook?

President Elect Barack Obama took politicians using the Internet and social media to a new high. If politicians were more visible and accessible on networks like Facebook, would that help them understand a little bit more about the people they were governing?

What do you think?
