YouTube will host a live interview with President Barack Obama next week, which will feature a question and answer session. Questions will come from YouTube users who posted their thoughts and concerns during the Web site's broadcast of Wednesday's State of the Union address. "We'll bring some of your top-voted questions to the president in a YouTube interview from the White House, which we'll also broadcast live on Citizentube," Steve Grove, head of news and politics at YouTube, wrote in a blog post. It's not quite the interactivity that YouTube or Ustream generally sees, but it's a significant grab for YouTube.
