WhiteHouse.gov undergoes renovation

Change hasn't just come to the country today, but also to the web and blogosphere. The official White House website was re-launched with the sleek new design you see below.

New White House website

It comes as no surprise that President Obama, who built the largest people powered campaign in history by embracing technology, has upgraded and improved the Presidential website on his first day.

It seems natural that he becomes the first President with a blog. Given the President's statements about having the most open and accessible Administration in history, we are hopeful that the blog will be used to facilitate two-way discussion with the people, and not a graveyard for press releases. Right now, there is no ability to comment on the posts.

Also of note is that President Obama will be making a video address each Saturday morning of his Presidency, and posting it on the website.

And at the top of the Presidential website is a way for you to sign up to receive updates from President Obama and his team.

So get signed up, join the conversation and help President Obama create the change you want to see in our nation.
