Watching the Inauguration Online?

What's the best way to watch online? There are a number of competitors, not the least of which features live coverage linked from the CNN.com home page. Other cable and network services are following suit, such as MSNBC with its The Inauguration page, featuring video clips and, presumably (although I've currently no evidence of a...) a live feed.

But those are the obvious ways. What's the *coolest* way? Well, I don't know how the live feed will work (since you can't find any evidence of it on the site itself) but Hulu does have this neat-o countdown timer:

Not to be outdone, Ustream is offering a limited beta of an iPhone application that can be used to view the inauguration:

CSPAN has its Inauguration Hub running online, with links you to a number of different feeds around Washington that'll let you see the city with little or no commentary. This may, in fact, be the coolest way to watch if you dig that "unfiltered" approach.

Anyone got other ideas or suggestions?
