History in the making

21 Jan

I’m watching the swearing in of Barack Obama, the 44th president of the US. I’m watching CNN as well as on cnn.com. I counted 16 camera angles and another 4 on cnn.com capturing the excitment and the mood of this historic moment. 

Also interesting is the collaboration between CNN and Facebook. I can see all the Facebook members, mostly from the US, watching the moment online. 

I thought there would be problems getting into cnn.com. How surprised, no problem at all with the streaming. Smooth and no lag at all. Must find out from the ISPs whether there’s  spike in bandwidth tonight.

Good luck to Obama, I think he’ll have a short honeymoon before people start to hassle him to get the US back into shape.
