Inauguration Around the Net

Plenty of Sources of Related Content

As the wireless networks prepare for inauguration traffic jam, there are plenty of ways that users will be utilizing the Internet to stay up to date on their inauguration coverage, just as they did with the election.

Of course Hulu has it covered, and has even gone so far as to provide an embeddable countdown:

Other destinations that will have coverage in one form or another include: Joost, Comcast.net, ABCNews, MSNBC, CNN, C-SPAN, Livestation, USAToday, NYT, and Terra. It can be watched via mobile devices with Verizon V Cast, AT&T Mobile TV or MobiTV, and the iPhone Ustream application (thanks Om Malik for providing a list).

CNN is also partnering up with Facebook. "What will your Facebook status say when Obama becomes President? CNN.com and Facebook are partnering to enable you to update your status, and follow your friends' updates, while you watch the inauguration live online, all on http://cnn.com/live," reads an event description on the social network. Twitter's got a thing too.

Facebook Inauguration Event

Google has taken it upon itself to share some helpful maps that may be of use if you are actually in or on your way to D.C. They talk about those in this post at the Google Lat Long Blog.

Inauguration Map

Speaking of Google, Matt Cutts will be attending the inauguration. He's already in D.C. and while I have not seen any promises from him to provide his own coverage of the event, I would not be surprised to see something come from him.

It will be a historic day on a number of levels, and you can add this continuation of the technology used throughout Obama's entire campaign to the list. Please feel free to share other sources of Inauguration-related content in the comments.

Gabriel has blown his horn.The age of fighting to make a buck is gone. We are witnessing the arrival of a new and better age. It is the age of volunteerism. Men and women in every city and town are volunteering to help the over burdened. A world of loving brothers and sisters has finally arrived.

Dawn of new era

It's good for the people of America as well as for the people around the world that Mr. Obama is now the President of most powerful nation of the world. We all are hopeful of something good which will make this world a better place to live.
