CNN, Facebook Team Up Again for State of the Union

CNN.com and Facebook will on Feb. 24 attempt to replicate their wildly successful live streaming/commenting collaboration as seen during President Barack Obama's inauguration, as the site ramps up coverage of the new president's much-anticipated State of the Union Address. As with the inauguration on Jan. 20, which yielded record-smashing traffic numbers ( see this earlier report), CNN.com visitors will be able to stream live coverage of the inaugural address, while concurrently commenting on the address via their Facebook status-updating tool—all on a single Web page. And just like last time, these viewer' friends will be notified about the CNN.com Live coverage via their Facebook News Feeds.
