Obama Wants To Be The Next Big You Tube Star
Holy Hotness, Batman! So many people have attributed much of Barack Obama's campaign success to his ability to reach younger voters through social networking like Facebook and Twitter. His strategy of reaching young voters where they were compared to trying to get the voters to come to him was brilliant, but it appears he's not yet done with that tactic.
President-Elect Obama announced today that he'll be delivering his weekly address to the Nation via You Tube. The now traditional radio address will continue, but the address will be filmed and uploaded to You Tube for all to see, watch, and share at our leisure.
I think this is a huge step. Radio addresses are quaint, but by and large no one listens to them except press. Does anyone even know when Bush holds his, or what station to tune into? But Obama will bring his address to the masses exactly where they are, allowing potentially millions more to stay abreast of the President's plan.
I honestly can't wait to see what else Obama has in store.

I've always wanted to listen to the weekly addresses (governor, mayor, president), but finding them was always so difficult. This just makes it a lot easier. Hopefully Villa-Raigosa will take the hint.
That sounds really cool. I don't know what station W's weekly address is on, but it IS available as a podcast. I know you can find it with Zune, it should be on iTunes as well.
But doing on YT is sure to get a lot more listeners/watchers.
