Inauguration Stream

Hi, not wanting to start a debate on politics (I voted for the other guy). But I was wondering if there anyone has seen anything about audio at least of the inauguration being streamed on any linden lands like they do for other events, or private islands even. Maybe with a nice Obama stand in avatar at a podium for effect. I haven't done much in the way of civics in SL and figure a presidential inauguration would be a good way to change that.

Chet, I'm not sure if it will work, but this was on NPR's website:

The Presidential Inauguration Committee web site will offer a live stream of the inauguration ceremony on its main page starting at 11:00 AM ET. Simply go to http://pic2009.org/ (Information about this viewing option is detailed on the Inaugural Committee blog: http://www.pic2009.org/blog/entry/watch_the_swearing-in_ceremony_on_the_web/

(You will need to have installed Microsoft's Silverlight http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/resources/install.aspxon your computer to watch this stream.)


maybe you can pick up the web address of the stream...

I would do that if I had land. But I don't have anyplace to set a stream.. I was hoping to be in SL on a sim with a bunch of avatars hanging out and pretending to freeze on the Washington Mall today

i was thinking the same thing about whether anyone knew of any audio or video streams that were useable on sl land.

if you don't own land or want to fiddle with such things, a number of places are holding inauguration events:

OOOOO wouldn't that be too cool. I'm leaving work in 2 hours just in time to watch the inauguration. I'm sign on sl to see if there is a Washington DC and anyone is there.

For Linux users with Firefox, you can find a plugin to view Silverlight streams here:

oops...sorry. I guess it would have helped if I'd read your post more carefully.
