Obama to Webcast the Inaugural Ball Live

by Kaiser Hwang on January 6, 2009 at 01:45 PM


It's no secret that President-elect Barrack Obama ran one of the most "connected" campaigns in history. With YouTube videos, Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr accounts, and even a spankin' iPhone application, was there anywhere (or anyone) Obama couldn't reach? Those of you who thought all his tech-centric escapades would end after the election, think again: Obama will be Webcasting his first dance on inauguration night, for everyone in the world to see.

Said the President-elect: "This is an Inauguration for all Americans. I wanted to make sure that we had an event that would be open to our new neighborhood here in Washington, D.C., and also neighborhoods across the country. Michelle and I look forward to joining our fellow Americans across the country during this very special event."

More details will be announced at a later date, but for now, we can say that making the historic day as accessible as possible is one of his best -- and most logical -- moves yet. Bravo, Mr. President-elect, bravo. [From: Politico]
