President-elect Obama will hire the first Chief Technology Officer of the United States, and ObamaCTO.org asks people to suggest what the priorities of that CTO should be. Clearly, these are just suggestions, and the CTO will not be checking with "the crowd" before making decisions. But it's nice to see the incoming administration asking for input.

But who will fill this post? Google's CEO (Eric Schmidt) has already declined, and some wonder how easy it will be to lure anyone away from the private sector.
