I'm very, very optimistic about signs like this. Effective use of Internet-based communication, organization, and collaboration tools appears to be something that, generally speaking, comes naturally to younger generations and doesn't come at all to older generations. Appointing a few key people who get it to powerful positions in government could go a very long way toward delivering, in government, some of the same productivity improvements and transparency that we've come to appreciate in tech companies.

Just think, had McCain won, we might have ended up with Carly Fiorina...

I'm genuinely curious to see how the Obama administration will use the web. If his campaign is any indication, the whitehouse tech game will no doubt be cutting edge.

Cool that someone from Launchbox is involved. Seems like Google.org hasn't done much yet given all the resources they have.

change.gov is up, if not exactly pretty :-)<p>(and i'm curious to see what the Obama administration will do with whitehouse.gov.)

According to the source of the Change.gov page, it was generated using Microsoft Word.<p>Granted, it's just a placeholder for the site, but still. I sure hope that isn't a sign of things to come.

Getting rid of Ted Stevens for good is the first thing that should happen.
