Watching www.cnn.com/live right now and wishing that I was in Washington DC. Apparently 200,000 people have changed their status on Facebook today and 3,000 people are currently updating their status as we speak. Truly a historic occassion in more ways than one.

Definitely impressed with CNN.com and Facebook for their coverage of Obama’s inauguration.
If you’re looking for a great example of social technology and social media utilized to bring people together to celebrate a common purpose, that was it.
Obama stumbled a bit during his oath taking ceremony, but his speech afterwards more than made up for it.
Also, I tried to do a play-by-play of Obama’s speech on Twitter. Follow me

I am a 20-something young person keenly interested in learning how transformative social change happens, and passionate about building resilient communities. I also have a strong background in student and youth engagement, and I am convinced that young people have the power and opportunities like never before to affect positive change in the world.
