Cable giant Comcast and social networking site MySpace.com are pairing up with
the left-leaning news and opinion Web site HuffingtonPost.com next week to "celebrate change in Washington, the rise of new media, and a renewed commitment to service and the environment." They are hosting an invitation-only Inauguration Eve party at the Newseum with a handful of others. Hip-hop star Will.i.am, who made headlines during the campaign season for his "Yes We Can" YouTube video in support of now President-elect Barack Obama, is slated to perform.
Other hosts and sponsors include the AARP; Global Green USA, which is focused on stemming global climate change through green building; wind turbine manufacturer Vestas; the Service Nation campaign; clothing designer Kenneth Cole; the Musk Foundation -- which provides grants for research in the fields of renewable energy, space exploration, pediatrics, and science and engineering education -- and social change grant-maker Atlantic Philanthropies.
