Tweeting the Inauguration
Posted by Allison Fine on January 13, 2009
A week from now the world will be descending on Washington, DC for the inaugural festivities. The NPR Social Media desk staffed by Andy Carvin will be repurposing the guts of Twitter Vote Report for use on Election Day for attendees to share their travel and inauguration experiences.
So, if you’re in DC next week, or on your way, use use the hashtag #dctrip09 to describe your roadtrip in and #inaug09 on Inauguration Day to share your experiences. Tweet it or use the really cool iPhone app that will enables you to report and automatically map where you.
Also, for the latest help in planning for the big day you can follow twitter.com/inauguration for up to the minute details. What are some other ways you’re using Twitter to share the Inaugural festivities more broadly? Who else should we be following?

We’l be tweeting updates, as usual, via @philanthropy.
We’ve also created a Flickr group that will allow folks in the nonprofit world to share photos and videos from their inauguration experiences: http://www.flickr.com/groups/942835@N25/
If this works and folks contribute, this could become virtual clearinghouse of cool photos from the nonprofit world.
