The blend of CNN and Facebook Connect generated over 1.5 million status updates related to the Inauguration Day festivities.
Could this be a step towards the model we were talking about in class with the blend of the two different notions of news sharing? Maybe, maybe not. But I think it sure is one step closer to convergence of the two and convergence of media platforms.

i wasn't able to get on cnn because the demand was so high, but i tried to updated my twitter during the ceremony. i have my twitter set up to also update my facebook status, but i think this was a case of twitter slowing down or stopping certain features in order to ensure that they could stay functional with the increased usage. i had to update both twitter and facebook with the same status. pretty annoying. ;)
