Obama Gets Geeky
The man who built a high-tech campaign out of the concept of "change" is already bringing Internet technology into his administration. President-elect Barack Obama has announced plans for a presidential YouTube channel, along with plans for thorough social network and blog screenings as part of potential staffers' background checks. If you've so much as left a questionable comment on a blog somewhere, you might be disqualified. Think you could pass?

Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube gain traction at work

Overall, YouTube a kinder, gentler place for Obama
When I talk to people about this year's presidential election, sooner or later a video on YouTube will be referenced. Over the past month, if you have any interest in the race at all, you've been sent to (or linked to) YouTube to watch videos like the tirades of Obama's ex-pastor Jeremiah Wright, McCain supporters calling Obama a terrorist, claiming he's Moslem or screaming "kill him," any of the dozens of "McCain Gets Angry" videos, Katie Couric's interview with Sarah Palin (aka Caribou Barbie), or any of the often-brilliant SNL send-ups of this year's candidates. But overall it seems like YouTube is a friendlier place for Obama than it is for McCain.
