Like just about anything else, we tend to obsess over the not-so-important stuff instead of the big issues. As an example, look no further than the press regarding President Obama’s administration. There are some obvious biggies like the stimulus package and mortgage aid packages and bank bailouts, but what do consumers really want to know? Why what dog he’s going to choose of course! Forget that other stuff!

As a result you are probably interested to hear about the White House’s choice for video platform in releasing his most recent addresses. Formerly using Youtube, it appears that there will be a new custom player and system from Akamai for future addresses. The reason? Apparently there could be some privacy concerns when it comes to the cookies collected by Youtube.

I doubt that it’s an issue of significant importance in the political world, but of import to those of us who care about TV-related news!
