It's interesting to note that there is constantly a reference to "old habits and stale thinking" when Obama wants to denigrate any idea that is not in line with his thinking. I guess the Administration thinks if they blast their messages in enough places that everyone will agree with them.
Are the loudspeakers on every corner the next step?
WhiteHouse 2.0
In the President’s last Weekly Address, he called on government to "recognize that we cannot meet the challenges of today with old habits and stale thinking." He added that "we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative," and pledged to "reach beyond the halls of government" to engage the public. Today the White House is taking steps to expand how the Administration is communicating with the public, including the latest information and guidance about the H1N1 virus. In addition to WhiteHouse.gov, you can now find us in a number of other spots on the web:
Facebook.com/WhiteHouse
MySpace.com/WhiteHouse
Twitter.com/WhiteHouse
The WhiteHouse blog (RSS) will power a lot of the content in these networks, but we’re looking forward to hearing from our fans, friends and followers. Don’t forget these sites as well:
Flickr.com/WhiteHouse
Vimeo.com/WhiteHouse
YouTube.com/WhiteHouse
iTunes (videos & podcasts)
Technology has profoundly impacted how – and where – we all consume information and communicate with one another. WhiteHouse.gov is an important part of the Administration’s effort to use the internet to reach the public quickly and effectively – but it isn’t the only place.
There’s a lot to talk about right now. From an economic crisis to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the President and his Administration have a full plate – not the least of which is making sure the public stays up-to-date and involved in our efforts.
