Congress and Senate Get Own YouTube Channels

by Tim Stevens on January 13, 2009 at 01:52 PM

It was just a few months ago that members of Congress were officially allowed to start posting content to YouTube -- something that the citizens of the U.S. have been doing in droves for years. Now our government's support for the site is getting rather more official. Both the Congress and the Senate have launched their own YouTube video channels, giving you two portals for all the online governmental video proceedings you can stomach.

The two channels are called the Senate Hub and the Congress Hub, and both are already full of videos ranging from news to "behind the scenes" views into what's going on in D.C. There's plenty of good stuff, but we were surprised and disheartened to see that most of the videos have had comments disabled. In other words, you'll have to find elsewhere to contact your local government officials -- but that's really nothing new, is it? [From: ReadWriteWeb]
