Tonight, President Obama will deliver the annual State of the Union address, and while partisan politics (and some great shots of various people nodding off) will rule the night, the US government is getting into the Web 2.0 game in a big way tonight. The speech -- scheduled for 9:00 pm ET -- will be streamed live on the web, and immediately following said speech, the White House will host an 'Open for Questions' event on
Twitter making use of the hashtag #sotu, while other government officials will answer questions submitted on
Facebook, as well as the White House website's webform. On Thursday night, the President will also answer questions on
YouTube. We'll let you know if and when the government hatches a plan to answer questions on Yahoo! Answers.
