Add "www.whitehouse.gov" to the podium in the White House for TV viewers

The idea: If the text "www.whitehouse.gov" would be visible on the podium in front of the microphones on all occasions when the President speaks, more and more of those folks would visit the powerful website of the white house whom would have never thought of doing so before.

Every time President Obama speaks, millions of people watch him (not always the same millions).

The TV is the best advertising venue, why not "utilize" it any time the President speaks from the White House? (Or even from the library of Congress if it's OK by any means).

Why is this idea important?

Because, the website of the White House can be and is so powerful in communicating with the American people (First time in History!!!).

I think, it would be even better if President Obama would take the opportunity once and mention the website of the White House in one of his speeches, talk about the different ways the American people can communicate with the White House and actively participate in building the future.

  1. I think it's on the backdrop, not sure though.

    I didn't vote for this. If someone someone doesn't know whitehouse.gov by now.. all they need do is google his name -- its right there beside his ".com" page and his Wikipedia entry.

    Wouldn't hurt to see it elsewhere. I just don't like the idea of stamping that distracting test in front of it. It's essentially an advertisement.

  2. A standard citizen portal connection that is highly affordable, wireless and miniturized and uses extremely low amounts of power is the way forward. To combine efforts of cyber security, affordability and wireless connectivity into a single device is a significant strategy that will be a cornerstone that when combined with other great ideas mentioned on this site and elsewhere will have no equal for years to come.

    The complexities of business and invention need not be compromised in supporting standard portal connections. The ability to connect to the rest of the world and access the strength of community the web has to offer is vital for all humanity to compete in future learning environments
