My morning today at AR Headquarters began with a Starbuck's Tall 'Shot-in-the-Dark' and a apple fritter. As usual, Claire was already at her desk. I powered up my Mac, and started to shovel my way out from under the normal avalanche of emails. 'TechCrunch's Latest' was at the top of the stack, so I clicked through, and discovered the first article, "Watching the Inauguration with All My Facebook Friends."
I quickly accessed the provided link, and was immediately ushered into a LIVE feed from the Mall, along with a corresponding real-time Facebook Chat function. Suddenly, I'm engaged in running commentary on the inauguration as events unfold.
This is the true power of the New Media - empowering and enlightening through greater connectivity and interaction!
