White House Goes Web 2.0 For State of the Union. Republicans Pretty Sure This Is Not What The Founding Fathers Intended.
President Obama will move the web tonight with an interactive site for the State of the Union
Address, which will live stream the speech along with charts and statistics to provide context and emphasize key points. During the speech, aides will be using Twitter to comment on the speech. You can participate in the Twitter feed by going @whitehouse with the hashtag #sotu.
Participants can also post to the White House's Facebook wall or they can submit questions and comments through the website's webform.
Tomorrow the White House press secretary's office will take questions from the public, which you can follow on Twitter on @PressSec and then respond using the hashtag #1Q. On Thursday President Obama will answer questions in a live YouTube interview and certain policy experts will have online discussions where questions can be submitted via Facebook. Then the crowning event will be Vice President Biden answering your questions on Friday by way of Yahoo.
All in all, quite an interactive event. The only thing missing is keyboard cat.
