CNN & Facebook Team Up For Obama’s Inauguration
By Ben Haber
When Barack Obama is sworn in as President on January 20, CNN & Facebook will be turning the event social, allowing Facebook users to see a live news feed of their friend’s ‘status updates’ while watching the event.
Facebook members will be able to update their status directly from CNN.com Live Player, which will be catagorized in the Facebook news feed as ‘via CNN.com Live.’ The news feed will appear on the right side of the CNN.com Live Player page, allowing viewers to see both the video and news feed simultainously, somewhat similar to Rick Sanchez’s Twitter based show.
