That’s right… Wiffiti will be capturing the live vibe of the inauguration in real time – on screens in DC, across the nation, and across the web!

Check out the full release, and send your messages of support to the YesWeCan Wiffiti screen!

Rather just sit back and watch the voices unfold across the globe? Just pull up the screen and track live, relevant feeds from Flickr, Twitter, and Wiffiti stream in as we all witness history unfold together…

Watch Wiffiti simultaneously with inauguration coverage online and on tv, and now we’re talking about truly social media.

A big thanks to everyone at Netroots Nation (especially Nolan, Raven, and Mary) for a fantastic conference.  I’m psyched that everyone seemed to dig the Wiffiti screens, and we’re excited to roll in with some new stuff for next year!

Yep.  Surprising EVERYONE, Al Gore showed up at the Pelosi keynote this morning.  Some flickrers captured the moment! Well, and so did the NYT… and FoxNews…

and so did Wiffiti!
