Heading down to DC to witness history!
I haven’t updated in a bit, but it’s with good reason. I have been working on a facebook app that shows content from the Inauguration. I am heading to the events and I am very excited. But I will save my views and experiences for a later post. For the time being I will be posting content to http://inaugurationreport.com. This site is an aggregate of content form people attending the event. It is produced by NPR as a follow up to initiative rolled out at during the elections “Vote Report”. Read more here about “inaug09″ and what it means.
Jumping on my plane from Dallas to DC! So this post is rushed…. But hopefully still informative. Please read about the facebook app that Sapient is working on to support the event below. Right now you can see a bunch of pics I have been uploading during my trip.
“Facebook App to support the initiative.

The App still has some bugs. But you can look at peoples pics going to the event, txts about what is going on in DC as well as listen to the live broadcast of the events on Tuesday. Think of it as the peoples view, instead of ABCs and NBCs. Content is uploaded from people at the event. NPR is streaming the audio broadcast.
Right now you can listen to the Neighborhood ball on the app. Check out the event here:

Please fwd along, and listen along on Tuesday ( I will be there in DC!)
Thanks
