Obama campaign is not just known for technology innovation and history making victory. Obama team is also continuing with amazing number of campaign innovations. Not too long ago, presidential inauguration used to be the monopoly of cables and national channels. Obama team’s creative adoption of Youtube and online tools are changing politics as we know it.

Obama campaign decided to use Silverlight technology to stream live inauguration events. Writing on PIC2009 website, Amy Hamblin mentions why this will make most open inauguration ever in the history of presidential affairs.

This will definitely be a shot in the arm for Silverlight adoption. Technology is definitely superior for video streaming and Obama’s inuaguration speech will more people download the Silverlight runtime.

Microsoft worked with iStreamPlanet to make this happen. This is a big win for Microsoft and slight setback for Adobe.
