"After the President's speech
begins this Wednesday (1/27) at 9pm EST, anyone will be able to submit a follow-up question and vote on others at
YouTube.com/CitizenTube. Then next week, the President will answer questions in a special online event, live from the White House,"
Phillips wrote.
Earlier this week, the White House introduced the
White House iPhone App, which delivers much of the content available on
whitehouse.gov in a mobile interface. With the app, iPhone users will be able stream the State of the Union address live.
Evidently, President Obama will not be
answering those questions live: the days following the speech, users will be able to submit additional questions and vote on their favorites.
Next week, although Google still has to communicate the exact timing, the top-voted questions will be asked to the president in a YouTube interview from the White House, which will also be broadcast live on Citizentube
