Live Earth–famous for its huge global entertainment concerts in 2007–will open its 2009 Green Inaugural Ball to the online community by taking video submissions, some of which will be shown at the event taking place in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 19.

Partnering with Magnify.net as part of a larger deal with the online video company, Live Earth is creating a global video channel for the inauguration.

Anyone can submit a new or existing short film or video to the Live Earth video site, which launches this morning, “expressing ideas as to how President Barack Obama and his administration can use clean energy and green technology to change the country, save the economy, and solve the climate crisis.”

That’s right, my friends, welcome to the Internet-astic, BlackBerry-loving, You-Tubing, Twittering Obama administration. Luddites need not apply.
