Presidential Sites

By Simon Fodden

The new U.S. President’s web page is up at http://www.whitehouse.gov. There’s an animated square menu in the upper left corner that rotates through four features; and down below there are excerpts from the new blog, which you can access directly at http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/ (feed at http://www.whitehouse.gov/feed/blog). Good to see that slick as the work of President Obama’s IT people is (and it is), they too can fluff it: the blog post Read the Inaugural Address promised but didn’t deliver the text of his speech. Doubtless it’ll be coming along with the also promised video. As you might have expected, the NY Times does have the text of his address. And, as I’m sure the Twitterati are all aware, there’s a Twitter site for Barack Obama (last post 20 hours ago).
