You gotta love the Washington Times for splashing this story across the top of their local coverage today: “EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police probe officers’ Facebook pages” reads the headline, with the subhead, “Complaint cites degradation of women, hedonism.” Apparently a couple of officers are “members” of a public group on Facebook called the “Make-it-Rain Foundation for Underprivileged Hoes,” which we gather means these guys want it to be known that they are fans of going…

Capitol Hill mainstays Bruce and Adele Robey have gone back to their internet roots with the recent launch of Hill-Talk, a Capitol Hill neighborhood-focused online news aggregator, discussion board and community calendar. The Robeys were the force behind the original Voice of the Hill newspaper, which began as a web site in 1999, later expanded to a monthly tabloid newspaper and eventually joined the Current Newspapers in 2005, when the Robeys sold it to…

Ted Leonsis has reached Facebook’s limit of 5,000 friends. Leonsis has made more than 3,9002,900 friends since mid-April, when he blogged that he had almost 2,100 and asked, in typically affable style, “if this is winning, why do I sometimes feel like such a loser for being so connected? :-)” Well, Ted, we don’t think it makes you a loser at all. In fact, you’re a great Facebook friend. This week alone you’ve recommended two…

The Washington City Paper’s Angela Valdez provides a two-pronged update today to the monstrosity that could be the Late Night Shots reality TV show we told you about earlier this month. In a piece over at Campus Progress, she interviews Havva Eisenbaum, the producer of the pilot, who says that they’ve already had “nibbles of interest from networks” who might end up picking it up once the pilot is completed. Considering how many reality TV…

Facebook isn’t just for ridiculous photos of politicians’ kids anymore. Now university presidents are getting into the act. We’d usually say that a college administrator having a profile on Facebook, the big social networking site that started with colleges but has since spread everywhere, sounds pretty neat — the administration is trying to be transparent and stay in touch with the students’ internet fads. We can imagine a lot of good uses for the site…

While SFist cringed at the fatal dose of crime littering the Bay Area, it found solace in Hillary Clinton’s San Francisco campaign headquarters opening, which featured loads of exposed mammary glands. In other news, SF Taxi Commission ruled that Satan’s cab must keep its (in)famous medallion number, 666; and in an un-fashion-forward frenzy, San Francisco Fashion Week (chortle) bars bloggers from covering and getting smashed at their shows and parties, respectively. Also, they found a…

>> Along with their still awaited Local Blogger Directory, washingtonpost.com is set to roll out a social networking function this spring. How long will we have to wait before Hank Stuever starts updating his profile every hour with cryptic messages in an elaborate attempt at online performance art? [Fishbowl DC] >> A woman was struck by a Green line train on Sunday night at the Suitland station, after falling onto the tracks. Amazingly enough,…

This weekend’s weather hinted at what is yet to come in the Washington region in the months ahead — heat and humidity. And given that this Wednesday marks the official start of summer, the change in weather has come right on time. Look for high temperatures and afternoon thunderstorms through Sunday. Laptop with District Employee Info Stolen: Note to self — don’t take laptop from work home, especially if it has sensitive information about city…

Rusty, it was your wingman post. A DCist reader led us to this post over at why.i.hate.dc, where the site’s author discusses the local blog D.C. Late Night Shots and wonders why he’s been picking up traffic from the “closed social network,” most of which is, as you might guess, inaccessible to those who haven’t been invited. DCist, however, was able to dig up one of the highly exclusive invites (note: we’re not the first…

Good morning, Washington. To those of you who celebrate the holiday, we hope you’re having a pleasant Passover, and that last night’s second Seder was, uh, salubrious. Okay, we’ll stop now. Students Vote For Laxer Pot Penalties: The Post reports on yesterday’s U-Md. student election results, which included a large victory for a resolution in favor of making penalties for alcohol and marijuana violations equivalent. The ballot measure was intended to send a message to…
