: that's a LOT of tools doing similar things. It's getting to a point where it's hard to tell how one is different from the other (and if they're significant).

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration is expected to draw 1 million-plus to the capital, and already some lawmakers have stopped taking ticket requests and hotels have booked up.

President elect Obama will bring the President's weekly "fireside chat" into the 21st century by offering it not just on the radio, but in video on YouTube as well. It's as if the new President really cares whether the next generation has a connection to his regular work. That's where the people are - on YouTube, on MySpa (Read More)
: @cabradio I wasn't saying this could replace the news for political news. As far as I am concerned both is good. I like the idea of hearing it directly from the guys mouth. if its from him its more likely to be true then news. I don't know about you but I look at a bunch of news sources and don't take everything at face value before i consider it good news.
: @RyanCorcoran What you failed to recognize is that the President has been doing WEEKLY radio addresses for decades now. Reagan started doing them weekly. GW Bush made them available via RSS off the www.whitehouse.gov/news/radio website. Direct Info from the President HAS BEEN available. You just think it's Obama's idea. Video is Radio with pictures. He isn't doing ANYTHING new or innovative with this "video channel". It is just a progression with the technology that is now READILY available/accessible by most Americans (i.e. even those that don't have internet probably know someone who does, or can access via the Library for free).

Last night I asked “how will President Obama use his massive social media influence?” and today, less than 24 hours later, a bit of an answer has arrived. The Obama transition team has launched Change.gov, outlining some of the President-elect’s agenda, and offering hints of some of the transparency we might expect from hi (Read More)

Barack Obama, soon to become the 44th President of the U.S.A., is many things: a statesman, a lawyer, an author, and an orator. It is also our opinion at GeekDad that, even without knowing him personally, we have enough evidence to demonstrate that he is a big geek. Even if you didn't want him to win the election, you (Read More)
: @sumanth I'm really sorry about what happened there, and it's nice to see you took a moment to laugh. What's the mood like over there today? It's hard to tell from all the tweets. You guys will be in my thoughts today, regardless!
: @michaelfidler . Its really tragic. Today the operations are on. Officials say, they clear it up in a couple of hours. Some hostages are to be rescued. Hope it will be done soon.
