Culberson's Eye View Of Inaugration Day
Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, one of Washington's tech-savviest lawmakers, is going to be documenting Inauguration Day in his own special way -- with a live video feed from his cellular phone camera. Culberson's raw footage from around Capitol Hill -- and even from the platform where members will be seated during President-elect Barack Obama's swearing in -- will appear on his Qik.com Web page. The Houston Chronicle, BBC and possibly the New York Times plan to link to his content, a spokeswoman said.
On Friday, he gave viewers a sneak peek at the path through the Capitol's basement rotunda that Obama will walk with President Bush on Tuesday [watch that video above]. Culberson is also an avid user of Twitter, a service that lets users post short messages on a Web site from their cellular phones or computers. Last year, he campaigned mightily to ensure that outdated House rules were revised to allow members to communicate with constituents through a variety of platforms in the Internet age.
