Got a question about the economy? The White House wants to hear from you!

The White House is open for questions.

They invite you to participate in their community-moderated online town hall. Submit your own question about the economy and vote on submissions from others. They also encourage you to include a link to a video of yourself asking your question, but text submissions are all you need. Come back here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/openforquestions/ on Thursday to watch the President answer some of the most popular submissions live at WhiteHouse.gov.

Want to be Miss Great Britain 2009?

It’s the first time in the history of Miss Great Britain, that girls will be able to enter the competition via their mobile, by using Flirtomatic. The Miss GB Face of Flirtomatic competition is the penultimate round, giving girls their final chance to enter and win Miss Great Britain 2009.

Girls can sign up by texting GB10 to 84500 or by visiting www.flirtomatic.com. After uploading an authentic picture, Flirtomatic then sends each girl a gift icon to put on her profile and they can be viewed on web or mobile in the Face of Flirtomatic league. The 20 girls who Flirtomatic deem to be most active with other users will be selected from the league and go through to a final judging round. One girl will be crowned the Face of Flirtomatic and win that all-important final place in the Miss Great Britain 09, competing against 11 other pre-selected girls.

The Face of Flirtomatic competition runs from March 23rd until April 17th and is only open to UK users. Any girl with a Flirtomatic profile has the chance the to win the Miss GB Face of Flirtomatic competition and book their place in the final of Miss Great Britain 2009 on May 12th at Café de Paris in London.
