Regardless of one's political stance, it is impossible to ignore the President-elect's use of technology to reach out to the nation (and world). In some instances, this has proved useful for him (i.e. in helping him reach voters), and in some cases he will have to forgo its use (i.e. having a President carrying/using a wireless device has obvious security issues).
On the use of technology, I received an article from a colleague indicating that Obama has appointed two Second Life innovators to his "Innovation Agenda" team. I think it is way to premature for anyone to start celebrating that the white house, congress, DoD, etc. while have an official presence in Second Life as there are issues with putting official U.S. agencies open to the world. However, it is an interesting observation, and one that could boost the popularity of virtual worlds.
