So I was reading a blog a few minutes ago (http://newteevee.com/2009/01/20/facebook-cnn-is-future-of-tv/) about the CNN + Facebook feed for the inauguration and I have to say I was super thrilled at how connected I felt.

I was initially watching the live stream on MSNBC (which was pretty darn clear and didn’t freeze or anything) and then I hopped onto the CNN + Facebook feed at about 11:30…and couldn’t turn it off. On top of the momentous occasion that was going on, I could not stop laughing at the many status/comments that were going on from other people. It was really quite hilarious and pretty well executed.

The only drawbacks that I saw were that after everything was over and I go back to my regular Facebook profile…I have about 28382 new status changes on my page and notifications for all of the comments I got. Which was a little ugly but a small price to pay. I also received a couple of friend requests from people who saw my comments and thought I was funny lol which was pretty cool and unexpected :)

All in all I think that while the CNN + Facebook marriage was a bit weird at first…it definately proved it’s point about how technology can be used
