Congratulations America!

With Barack Obama swearing in as the 44th President of the United States the White House website also went through an overhaul and has been updated 12:01 EST to reflect the new President, his strong technology agenda and the era we are in.

The Whitehouse now also has a blog with an RSS feed. Communications, Transparency and Participation are the three priorities the new whitehouse media activity will focus on. Read the first blog post to learn more.

As President Obama declared throughout his campaign we should expect a lot of focus in the coming months (or years) on development of technology, new communications tools such as broadband and better use of the internet.

So go Visit www.whitehouse.gov and share with your kids.
