Help Determine Priorities for Obama's C.T.O.
President-elect Obama is looking to create a position for Chief Technology Officer. This is a good thing. Frank Greve at McClatchy reports that Obama will use new media in the form of YouTube in order to speak directly to the people, bypassing the various biased media. This is a great thing, and will improve our democracy.
The Presidents Weekly Radio Address is currently limited to five minutes. A youtube version would have no limits. This is so much better than trusting the sound bites that the media elite choose to let us hear.
So what should be the most important issues for a new Federal CTO? You can help decide that yourself by going to www.ObamaCTO.org. This is a Digg-like site that let's people add their own issues and then vote. The current leading issues? Ensure the Internet is widely accessible and network neutral is currently number 1.
