CNN, Facebook and the Inauguration


Interesting how CNN and Facebook teamed up so you can watch and comment on the inauguration with your Facebook friends.

Hi Sasha,
I thought the integration of the Facebook status feed was fantastic. Users posting from Facebook itself could see where their friends status messages were coming from (in tiny letters underneath each status, not unlike when someone posts from their phone or from twitter).

Fox News did things relatively old school--they had a video feed, but it was completely separate from the live chats. One interesting point of note, though, is that Fox hosted these chats in four different cities, involving different "newsworthy" groups in each. The Michigan chat, for example, actually featured a group of laid-off autoworkers.

Fascinating stuff.
