Computerside chats. I call rights for that coinage.

This will actually be more of a "chat" than FDR's chats, as Obama will be interacting with people in a more conversational way. Technology really has revolutionized politics - this is what makes me think that though you can learn from history, what happened in the past can never repeat itself exactly. For example, Obama's Computerside chats can never reach the same level of mania as FDR's Fireside chats just because it's not the most novel idea in the world.
