White House Releases iPhone App, Mobile Site on the Way
In: web resources
21 Jan 2010The White House has announced the release of the official White House iPhone app, as well as a plan to launch a mobile version of WhiteHouse.gov. With the app, iPhone and iPod touch users can access content from WhiteHouse.gov.
Content that is accessible includes live video streaming of events such as the President’s upcoming State of the Union address scheduled for next Wednesday. Also accessible via the app are the White House blog and briefing room site.
"Mobile internet access is an important way Americans are staying informed. Mobile web usage grew over 100% in the last year in the United States and higher worldwide," writes Dave Cole on the WhiteHouse.gov blog. "As part of President Obama’s commitment to an open and transparent government, the White House App makes getting all the latest news and media from the White House easier than ever. And of course, we’ll continue to look for new and emerging technologies to engage the American people and make information about the President and his administration easily available."
It seems like the White House’s move toward mobile is a bit late, considering the website was changed nearly a year ago, but mobile accessibility is of growing importance to websites in general as more and more people spend less of their Internet time on their PCs and more on their phones.
There is no word from the White House on if they intend to release apps for Android, BlackBerry or other devices.

There isnt much of a difference except that the has second generation has a physical buttons for volume control and an internal speaker. The battery on the second generation has a longer battery life as well. The second also comes with a chrome frame identical to a 3G iPhone making it such a sleek design. Need more info?

If you haven't done this already then you need to make your page titles reflect the content of your page. I've put my site url below which may help demonstrate this.

The best way is to read and understand Google's patent describing their contextual advertising process of scoring ads by price, relevancy, and performance, using a technique called "probabilistic hierarchical inferential learned cluster."

Why can't the Federal Reserve be audited?
The reason they do not want to get audited is because it would expose them as being who they are – ENGLAND / ZIONIST – and that would cause a major revolution in the USA…..hey I just told you folks the truth…..WE HAVE TO DESTROY THE "BANK OF ENGLAND" — THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS RUN BY THOSE SAME MONGO ENGLISH COCKROACHES….PART ENGLISH PART MONGOLIAN….ZIONIST ENGLISH BANKERS ARE TARGETS OF THE AMERICANS.–
AMERICA THIS IS THE FACTS ON THIS MATTER. THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS NEITHER FEDERAL NOR A RESERVE…THEY HAVE DONE THE SAME THING WITH THE BANK OF ENGLAND… IT IS NOT REALLY ENGLAND'S AT ALL.. IT BELONGS TO THESE CANCERS. THIS IS THE REASON WE FOUGHT THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 200+ YEARS AGO…..THEY WOULD NOT , OR WERE TELLING US WE COULD NOT, PRINT OUR OWN MONEY, CONTINENTAL SCRIP…….NOT TAXES, BA HUM BUG……AND SO TODAY THE SAME THING IS GOING ON…………CONGRESS IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB, AND HAS NOT BEEN, EVERY CONGRESS IN DERELICTION OF DUTY SINCE 1913 AND THAT IS TREASON. PERIOD………CONGRESS. COINS. MONEY. AND NO. OTHER. THAT IS WHY WE ELECT THEM IN OUR GIVEN DISTRICTS FOLKS………THE FEDERAL RESERVE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT, BUT BEFORE YOU DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE "BANK OF ENGLAND" AND A FEW OTHER "CENTRAL" BANKS AROUND THE WORLD….CENTRALIZATION IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF THE LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE OF THESE PEOPLE. CENTRALIZATION, NEVER WORKS. AS SURE AS A SPECIES SURVIVING FOR EVER ON ONE PLANET, NA, NOT GONNA HAPPEN……WHATS MORE…THAT IS THE JOB OF THE US CONGRESS…..NOT A FRAUDULENT "FEDERAL RESERVE" WHICH IS NOT FEDERAL AT ALL… NOTHING SHORT OF THE REMOVAL OF BRITAIN FROM THE AMERICAS WILL DO NOW.
btw americans are extra terrestrials… walking on another terrestrial body (the moon), kinda does that.
