Inauguration on the Interwebs

So it turns out that Obama Inauguration streaming video and coverage created the fifth highest peak across news websites since it started recording data in August 2005.

The article says that, "The peak for web traffic, according to Akamai, came at 11.45am EST – 4.45pm in the UK – on Tuesday as 5,401,250 web users hungry for news of the inauguration logged on to news sites within a minute of each other."

That's insane. It's awesome that so many more people can easily access information and news relative to their lives, and keep them informed and up to date about the world around them.

In other news, a girl in this class just toured my (co-op) house. Awesome! Avalon rules!! :)
