Engaged with the White House

The State of the Union Address last night was interesting not only for what Obama said in the speech itself (broadcast at Whitehouse.gov), but also for the many ways in which a viewer could engage with the discussion.  From participating in the Twitter feed at #SOTU to presenting a question and answer session immediately after on Facebook and again on Youtube today, this White House is making use of New Media, that's for sure.  It blogs, it tweets, it chats, it streams live, it posts photos and podcasts, and it engages the "viewer" in many ways other than just sending out signals.  Yeah, White House!
