Watch the 2009 Presidential Inauguration without a TV

Mon, Jan 19th, 2009

As Inauguration Day looms, people around the world are looking for ways to keep up with the goings on without having to be strapped to a couch in front of the TV. Similar to what we did on Election Day, the Ars staff thought we would hunt around for ways to follow President-elect Obama's swearing in and the following festivities online and on-the-go.

Luckily, if you have an Internet connection and a fully-functional browser, the world is pretty much your oyster. The NBC-owned Hulu plans to offer a live stream of the Presidential Inauguration directly from its website (which can also be embedded on your own website or blog).

Hulu is undoubtedly going to be one of the most popular options for online inaugural viewing tomorrow; however, if you're looking for somewhere else to go in the event that Hulu comes crashing down, C-Span also plans to offer multiple video feeds on its website through the "C-Span Inauguration Hub." In fact, C-Span already has a few video feeds up as video crews test things out before the festivities begin.

Not everyone plans to be in front of a computer tomorrow during the inaugural activities. If you have a phone that can play Flash videos, then the above options are still available to you—hooray!
