WASHINGTON - The president-elect who sent a text message to supporters on the night of his victory saying "all of this happened because of you, Barack" has been called the social media president months before his swearing-in. His inauguration - a Twittered, YouTubed, blogged and Flickrd celebration - has turned into a social networker's days-long dream.
The Obama campaign used interactive technology like text messages and blogs early on to connect with voters, culminating in "my.barackobama.com," a site where users could post their own page with links to local events and volunteer efforts. During inauguration week, Obama's team has continued to send text messages, this time centered around Monday's National Day of Service that coincided with the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Monday's message said "Thank you for volunteering today. It's time to wake up," and encouraged folks to dress warmly and smile because, again, "we are making history."
The Obama team isn't the only communications driver, picking up its tech-savvy focus from millions of people who communicate with an array of devices and software applications. The masses gathered in D.C for the occasion and millions across the world are chiming in as only the Internet can allow.
On social networking, microblogging site Twitter, inauguration updates are flying, marked with tags like "#inaug" and "#inaug09" and - okay - #Inauguration. Follow Inauguration DC for updates from the D.C. Government, and tweets to "#dcalert" are considered for airing on Current.com.
Flickr is the spot for Inauguration photo display and sharing, sometimes updated immediately from mobile devices. Photographers like Kaitlin Foley, Andrew Fagen and Aquarian Librarian are documenting their inauguration experience in real time. There are already more than 2,500 photos in the Inauguration 2009 pool.
CNN.com offers an interactive, online viewing experience. Inauguration attendees can submit iReport stories that will show up on an interactive map. CNN's live stream is paired with Facebook, so online viewers can update their statuses immediately based on what they see.
And those who'd like to go straight to Facebook can join the almost 850,000 people attending the event that's over at 11:59 a.m. - Bush's last day in office.
No way to tell if a text message will be sent at 12:01 p.m., Eastern Standard Time - from the new social media president, who is reported to be keeping his Blackberry.
