President Obama officially begins his second term in office this weekend. The inaugural ceremony and surrounding festivities are going to be smaller this time around, but countless people from all over the world are nonetheless going to tune in live – and once again, there are going to be plenty of opportunities to watch everything online or on your mobile devices.
