At about the same time President Obama was sworn in today, www.whitehouse.gov was re-launched. Gone is the staid President Bush look, replaced by big photos, a blog, lots of information about Obama's plans, and just an overall refreshing look.
It appears the Obama web heads also set up some serious server support as well, because I expected the site to be slow on such a day, but it loaded nice and quick.
Overall, the web was a great place to keep up on the breaking inauguration news today. CNN posted some excellent stories, photos, columns, and blogs.
I also saw on CNN that Sen. Ted Kennedy collapsed at an inaugural luncheon. Later, he was alert and talking to family, Washington Hospital Center spokeswoman Paula Faria told CNN.
We certainly wish him well. We also send out our heartiest best wishes and good luck to the Obamas. And as the Dow dropped another 300-plus points to head south of 8,000 today I hope the economy responds soon to the new administration.
