The People’s Inaugural Address concluded last week – it was a huge success!  When all was said and done, over 400 people had contributed (not including the 43 presidents).  You can find a copy-edited version of the final collective address here and the site where it was created here.

The project earned quite a bit of attention from the media and blogosphere.  One person, taking advantage of the fact that the inaugural addresses were published under a creative commons license, even created a free e-book from all the different submissions.  See our recent buzz for more highlights.

One last thing to bring to your attention – here’s Slate’s Michael Newman being interviewed on the WNYC’s Brian Lehrer show about the project.

He does a pretty nice job of explaining how MixedInk’s process works.  We also thought this “word cloud” that WNYC created using from the People’s Inaugural Address was pretty cool:

All in all, this was a pretty innovative project, and a great way to kick off the grand adventure that is MixedInk.

A big thanks to Slate – and to all who contributed!
