Mashable reports on some cool stuff CNN is doing:
CNN will be monitoring Twitter commentary tagged with #CNNtv during the live broadcast, and display selected tweets in a "slow stream" alongside video coverage. Tweets and Facebook status updates from so-called "relevant influentials," such as celebrities and friends of the Royal Family, will appear in the lower-third banner of the broadcast.
