It seems Obama is going to continue the use of these technologies through his new website, An American Moment, www.change.gov. The site features Web 2.0 technologies such as newsfeeds, a blog, online video, online applications for jobs in the Obama-Biden administration, online search, and an online forum where you can share your ideas and visions for the future.

With Obama’s continued presence on social networking sites, as well as his new change.gov site, Americans will definitely have a way to continue to interact with him well after the campaign is over and he’s taken on the presidency.

During the primaries, CNN set the bar with the most interactive electoral maps, right down to John King selecting, with a few screen touches, individual precincts to check on results. We’ll see tonight how the other networks are ready.

The Wall Street Journal gives us a preview of some of the glitz that we will see tonight.

In a recent posting, David Weir, discusses our inability to concentrate on anything but the election today. And he comments on what I always thought was funny…when CNN has multiple experts all commenting on results as they look at their individual laptops – what, no iPhones or Blackberrys?

For many of us, we’ll probably have the TV on, but we’ll visit the same news networks online — I stay with the three “cable” networks (CNN, MSNBC, and Fox) — to have a bit more control over tracking the results that we’re most interested in.

But, if you prefer  your news online:

MSNBC.com provides downloadable widgets

CNN.com allows you to select a few key races (“yourRaces”) you want to follow…the updated results will stay on your screen.

And all three — Foxnews.com, CNN.com, and MSNBC.com — have cool, interactive maps, of  course.
