Not quite website of the week



Barack Obama's innovative weekly address to the cyberspace electorate is not really a website but it is highly indicative of the importance of digital culture in the modern age. It seems set to catch on and it's had over 800,000 hits since it was posted on Friday which is considerably more than his previous You Tube outings.

I would have respected him more if he had turned the comments on but could you imagine Biffo Cowan doing something like this?
