Washington 2.0: Commander in Connectedness?

The discussion around President-Elect Obama's online army of followers/volunteers, now called the information infantry, continues over at DailyBeast. After reading the debate on the big fat story feature, I wonder if people be deployable within hours of receiving an e-call to action from the the 44th President of the United States. I am willing to bet those who have a desire to stay involved and "make a difference" will jump to the occasion. There are new concerns that the President-Elect may choose to hand over the list of 3 plus million names to the DNC or similar political action groups. Will this be viewed as disloyal? I have faith that we are not viewed as a list or a hand off. I for one want to continue hearing the language of a "transparent and connected White House," one that recognizes and uses the power of social networks and collaborative technologies to solve problems. There are several sites popping up that are calling for a change to how we understand, oversee and interact with Congress, like Open Congress and Change Congress. For thoughts on this issue, take a look at the open letter to the President-Elect from the Sunshine Foundation. What are your thoughts on the issue of connectedness to the soon-to-be Commander in Chief?

UPDATE: Read this NYTimes Article that talks about a wirleless (and I don't mean in a good way) White House. Would they seriously prevent the President-Elect from having a blackberry or even a laptop in the Oval Office? I don't see him agreeing to that. If technology got him where he is today, there is no way he is going to go back to Politics 1.0 - right?

Oh, and one last question: Are you still connected? Stay tuned for more updates on how we continue to use my.barackobama.com to pay it forward, even after the election.
