Why doesn't @NASA use the Facebook stream widget for their shuttle launches?: http://www.nasa.gov/multime... (~15 mins!)

They are using Yahoo broadcast ATM. Somebody needs to tell @nasa that its utter crap. Twitter campaign??
- Roberto Bonini
That was fun to watch. Thanks for the link Jesse.
- Skyler Call
Skyler my pleasure - it's amazing we can watch this anywhere in the world, regardless of where we are.

Melanie, that's cool, but why not put the Twitter widget next to the live video feed with results from that? Also, my close friends and family aren't on Twitter - Facebook is where you go to interact with close friends and family, and IMO the shuttle launch is something you sit down in the living room with that family and share a personal event. I think Facebook makes more sense. Regardless, there's no way to share that event with others on their site.

Jesse, my guess is that Nasa is such a large org with the right hand not knowing what the left is doing (sometimes - remember the inability of the diverse groups reading the report of Challenger's pre-launch to catch the O-ring problem?) that it just hasn't dawned on them that they could have done that. :)

Melanie, I'm sure that's the case :-)

Would it really be appropriate for our government to favor certain commercial social networks, at the expense of open systems and protocols? So many issues of rights, access, and ownership.

Wow - that's beautiful Melanie! It looks panoramic - I wonder how they got that fast a shot in a panoramic like that.
- Jesse Stay
LogEx, they already are - they have Yahoo on there as is. It's pretty hard to not favor someone these days. It's best they just pick the best tool for the job, as everyone else does.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, yeah, don't know but agree that it is quite an amazing shot. Did you click on the full size?
- Melanie Reed
Melanie, yeah - amazing!
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, right, that's for video delivery. But for user interaction and user-generated content, there are some thorny issues. Perhaps not so much for NASA as other areas of government, but the principles still apply.
