The Royal Wedding is only days away, Sharon and I have both blogged about it recently, and the Royal Family is certainly recieving a lot of media attention.

For a family and political tradition that Americans often view as stuck in the past, the Royal Family has indisputably been embracing new forms of social media technology. You may not be aware, but the Monarchy created the “Royal Channel” on YouTube in 2007 and joined Twitter in 2009 (handle BritishMonarchy, with more than 125,000 followers), there is also a Facebook page (more than 325,000 “likes”) and a Flickr account.
