The contributions of worldwide bloggers, podcasts, FaceBook entries, YouTube videos captured the sights and sounds immediately before, during and after the ceremonies. Millions of global viewers were active in the moment, with capturing, creating and publishing the journal of information that made up the day. Streaming video stretched at the seams, slowing slightly as the moment of 12:00 p.m. noon arrived. Never before in history had this important and historic day been reported collaboratively by the average citizen in such a way with each of our own voices heard! The new web now delivers the new word.
