Change Has Come To The White House, Web 2.0-Style
By now, you’ve probably heard about President Obama’s social media campaign that he ran in the race for the White House. Well, now that Mr. Obama is officially the president, the official White House website is reflecting the President’s commitment to transparency with a blog as well as other social media tools.
The White House Website
The site features a form where visitors can interact with the Office of Public Liason. Also featured is The Briefing Room where the President’s weekly video address can be viewed.
There are some excellent slide shows including a collection of portraits of the US Presidents as well as a slide show of the presidents’ pets.
The site will be supervised by Macon Phillips, the Director of New Media for the White House and one of the people who will be contributing to the blog.
