CNN has a very cool PhotoSynth from the 2 million people who attended the US inauguration (and who uploaded them to CNN). There is some really great angles available which I didn’t see from the TV broadcast and some great close up shots of Obama. This is just another great use of Silverlight. If you think how many will use this and how many watched it streamed live with Silverlight the question of Silverlights reach must really not becoming a serious discussion point when comparing with Flash.
If want to have a look at the PhotoSynth: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2009/44.president/inauguration/themoment/
