Yep… it was eventually going to happen at some point in time, especially since more Americans now connect to the Internet for their daily news, and because YouTube is the world’s most popular video service to promote oneself. Congress is now getting in on the action by launching official YouTube channels where House and Senate members can control videos of speeches, hearings and events such as ribbon-cutting ceremonies.
Lawmakers saw this to be a value because of the magnitude of reaching a vast number of people via the web during the 2008 Presidential elections. That success is motivating them in giving the public a direct line to what’s happening in Congress.
