The life & times of a young person interested in social change

President Barack Obama

Posted by renjie On January - 20 - 2009

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 :)
