Obamarama! How did you watch?

Did you watch/follow the 56th presidential inauguration yesterday? Here at CNET Towers, Nate and Ian had online feeds all over the show, while I followed what the world had to say on Twitter. Apparently you could even watch it on the telly, like an old person.

Did you watch live or wait for the edited highlights to hit YouTube? Did your viewing method of choice hold up? Has the Internet come of age? And what does this kind of event mean for old and new media?

I watched the hi-res Sky feed. It was a few minutes behind CBS, but looked smashing. I kept an eye on twitter via twhirl.

Former podcast regular Shannon Doubleday went all old-school and actually went along. You don't get more analogue than that.

Ian's verdict: Sky did the best job of streaming it.

I watched the Live stream on the BBC Website, and was talking about it with some friends on MSN.

Joost did a great job of streaming it live, and integrated automatically with Meebo Rooms so we could all chat about what we were seeing... definitely recommend them for a mention in your article.

Watched on TV like an old person, but Twittered along with it like a young person

You're all things to all men Dave

Well actually I was watching it, playing Halo and talking about it on MSN. I think I made a Tweet when Obama became the president as well.

That's some impressive multitasking, Pokeh. Are you really a girl?

Nope. My computer's just right next to my Xbox, and I kept checking the Video/MSN Convo whenever I was waiting to respawn or if nothing was really happening.
