The new White House website design: what to expect?
We know who President-Elect Barack Obama’s web designers were: SimpleScott, and later Walker Hamilton too. My sources tell me (don’t you have sources?

I listen to NPR (KFCR in Colorado), and I’ve heard a few bits about the Democratic National Convention here in Denver. One of the main topics in these bits is how technologically advanced the DNC ‘08 convention is going to be. There will be blogging, there will be YouTube, there will be Twittering, and so on.
