At least a million people descended on the nation's capital for the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Whether they were on the parade route or at the swearing-in ceremony, we got thousands of user reports.
As part of Inauguration Report, NPR's social media desk collaborated with CBS News, American University and volunteer programmers to come up with a way for people across the country to send multimedia dispatches of their inaugural experience.
You can view an ongoing feed of contributions or participate yourself.
Here's how to do it:
