Are you old media or new? Progressive or traditional? Were you present in DC or were you participating using TV and being online? <\/p>\n
President Barack Obama’s inauguration was an interesting event, why? It wasn’t during normal evening showtimes when people would watch on TV, as a result, people found other ways to consume<\/a> the event –even using iPhone apps<\/a>. Secondly, although an American event, it has implications to the rest of the globe,<\/a> it’s not just a limited audience.<\/p>\n In my world, I watched it at 830am at home on HDTV, while streaming other pieces on Ustream.tv. I watched Current TV (got annoyed with the hip hop music and ridiculous tweets) and turned on CNN. I was on twitter (see charts<\/a>), chatting and commenting about Aretha’s magic bow and how to be yellow mellow, and was reading the hundreds of tweets coming in every 30 seconds on Tweetscan, Summize (it couldn’t keep up) and Tweetdeck. <\/p>\n Over on Seesmic, <\/a>there were discussions from those who were watching –and it cascaded to many other social sites, at the end of the ceremony, I changed my Facebook stats to read “Jeremiah is mellow yellow” and received several replies in a matter of minutes –one from my kid sister, who says I’m old for using email<\/a>. <\/p>\n Tell me how you experienced the inauguration? Did you use mainstream media? Was it a social event for you? Did you create your own commentary and share with others?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you old media or new?
