As I'm writing this, I'm watching the unfolding of a historic event in American history over the
Internet. Thanks to CNN.com and Facebook, I can now watch president-elect Barac
k Obama's inauguration on the web--wirelessly, that is.
What makes this event interesting is I'm getting this supposed "live" stream fr
om CNN over my wireless connection of 1.8Mbps. There are slight pauses. But so
far, my connection is not giving up on me.
To make things more spicy, I can see people in my Facebook network logged on to
this CNN Live streaming video in partnership with the popular social networkin
g website. Now, I can chat with fellow Facebook addicts from the Philippines.
One Facebook user says this is going to change how Presidential inaugurations a
re covered. And the social network aspect of it is simply brilliant. Score one
for CNN and Facebook. Another was wondering how many Filipinos are watching thi
s live feed. Judging from the comments that are coming in by the minute (or sec
onds), a lot. I also found from fellow Facebook friends that this online video
streaming service is different from what you see on cable TV!

You are one of the few that was able to see the live feed from CNN of Obama eve
nt.
Many went to other sites to get a much stable feed or turned to TV to wach the
event.
I'm sure it would be saved for all to view on youtube for years to come.

Great website, it was actually quite real helpful.

Cooler heads prevail though, and thats why your guild is still around. Finally
the reaction of the server including the lack of people to jump on the Jeff Nem
erofsky with their perceived slights, leaves me to believe that all in all our
interactions with our server mates have been fairly strong. While it may have b
een in poor taste, I used the free publicity to highlight my guilds recruitment
needs. I expressed Jeff Nemerofsky regret at his dissatisfaction, without taki
ng accountability for that dissatisfaction. http://www.jeffalannemerofsky.com/

A pleasure to look at, go on with this! Thanks!
I like your website I will share this with friends
Hi, I applaud your blog for informing people, very interesting article, keep up
it coming :)
Barack Obama was referred as the "Internet President" and it holds true he was the first President who's inauguration was wired Live on the Internet. People all over the world witnessed the historic moment and all stood still as he took the oath. I don't know how other social networks covered the event but Facebook got really busy posting every minute, the users were like the bees and the ants posting round the clock, busy sharing one's opinions and updating others. This is the future and it's going to be even more exciting. I just hope we'll all use this boon in the right way.

Its really time to change in everything if we want to see some hope in the Phil. Right now,it's very shameful what this country's political leaders are doing. It makes me ashamed of my Filipino roots!
