The White House issued a press release yesterday documenting that 1.3 million people watched President Barack Obama deliver the annual State of the Union address via a live stream on Whitehouse.gov.
Many GOP and press websites were doing live blogging during the event and engaging users to participate in the discussion, in real-time.
Congressman Joe Wilson used Facebook to issue a video rebuttal minutes after the conclusion of the event.
Quite a contrast to the same event just 20 years ago.
State of the Union – 2010
State of the Union – 1990
