The White House is no longer using YouTube videos to power President Obama’s weekly video address after privacy advocates addressed concern over Youtube videos and Google user data tracking. The Obama White House is now utilizing Akamai to deliver the flash based video address. The White House is however still uploading its videos to their YouTube channel.
The marriage of business and government is a tricky one, and using WhiteHouse.gov as an outlet for the ‘marketing’ Google tools, a massive backer of Obama during the campaign, is questionable – especially since the site is powered by tax payers.
More from CNet’s Chris Soghoian on the White House, video and Google’s Youtube privacy concerns.
Good blog. I need to check out Akami. I personally use Ning embeds on my blog simply because they are better quality than YouTube.
Is it true that .gov (and subsequently .edu) links have higher values?
Thank youuu
