Networks, Microsoft to Take ‘Pulse’ of SOTU

Coverage Type: 

Microsoft Pulse, a real-time voting platform run by the software company, said it has partnered with CNN, MSNBC, NBC Universo and Telemundo to enable US viewers to provide real-time feedback during President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address. During the SOTU, viewers will be able to tap into Microsoft’s platform (via smartphones, tablets or PC browsers) to vote on whether they agree or disagree with what the President has to say. Pulse lets participants respond continuously, allowing them to cast votes every five seconds. The results will be shared in real-time during the live broadcasts by CNN and NBC Universo, and online via the digital live streams delivered by MSNBC and Telemundo.
