CNN And Facebook Team Up To Bring Live Inauguration Content



This morning, CNN Live and Facebook have teamed up to bring viewers and interesting mix of video and chat. The layout shows the CNN Live video stream and right next to that your Facebook status updates. This gives viewers who are Facebook members the ability to chat with each other while watching the event. Very cool.

One of the issues facing online news services and social network sites will be capacity. Not only is this an historic day for the United States, it will also be an historic day for online media. There will be more people online, active at the same time, than there probably ever has been.

I would get online early because the closer it gets to the event time the harder it will be to get a feed.
