Late last week C-SPAN launched the Debate Hub, a space where users can discuss the Presidential debate between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain, view clips, and hash out major topics.

Content included real-time commentary from livebloggers and Twitterati. All material was searchable, including video, which was indexed by question and speaker and can be embedded onto other sites.

Producer Ben O'Connell said the project was C-SPAN's "first foray into new [Web 2.0 social] media." The site, he said, is part of a plan to convert C-SPAN into a "platform agnostic media network" that "makes all of C-SPAN's assets to people in whatever media form they choose to utilize," reports Ars Technica.
