Demonstrating a solid command of technology and communications, the Obama administration is hitting all the right notes as it delivers a technical symphony.  This administration understands technology better than 99% of most businesses!  From YouTube, to Twitter, to Blogging, to Podcasting, The Obama campaign and administration is totally cutting-edge with social media.  And, all indications are that this competence isn’t limited to technology. 

YouTube?  He’s got his own channel - BarackObamaDotCom with over 1,800 videos.

Twitter?  He’s got over 144,000 followers for Twitter.com/BarackObama. 

They even created a special Twitter account for the Inaugural - Twitter.com/obamainaugural. It was created on December, 22nd and has over 14,000 followers. 

Of course Twitter can be too limiting at times.  Well, um yeah, they created a Tumblr blog for the inaugural too. 

Regular Blogs? The Campaign site has it’s own blog which was still being updated on Inauguration day. And now we have the Whitehouse blog.

Live streaming? Well, they’ve had a UStream channel for Live Campain Coverage for quite a while. And they created a special channel for Barack Obama Inuaguration Day Live. Not only was the inauguration carried on UStream, they created a special UStream iPhone application so you could watch it on your iPhone.

Podcasting?  The Official Barack Obama Podcast (in video and audio-only formats), Your Weekly Address from the President Elect (video), and President Obama Radio,

Web Sites?  There’s the campaign site www.BarackObama.com.  The Presidential Inauguration Committee Site www.PIC2009.com.  And now there’s www.Whitehouse.gov with it’s own blog.

Mobile?  Text HOPE to 62262 (obama)

Private Social Network - My.BarackObama.com.  This is perhaps the most significant piece of work listed here.  It enabled the Obama campaign to capture info on millions of supporters, enabled them to organize, raise funds, and share info.

And last but not least, the Obama campaign/administration is on all of the popular Social Networks - Facebook Groups - LinkedIn Group - MySpace - Flickr - Digg and many others.

Is there anything the Obama administration can’t do?  I am beginning to doubt it.  They have not drawn a line and said, we can’t/won’t do X.  They are doing it all, and they are doing it very well.
