VentureBeat: Use the web to get your 2008 Beijing Olympics fix

  • jondillon · 1 year ago
    We'll be knocking out an olympic trivia quiz that'll allow you to test your olympic knowledge in real time. At the moment it's only live on a couple of our overseas clients (http://sify.com/sports/olympics/olympicsQuiz.php for one) but early next week it'll go live in the US on a couple of big sites (TBA). Its a lot of fun and worth a play.

    MG,

    Thanks for the mention of the FF Room, me and www.ZoomProspector.com . I'm going to spend quite a bit of time both at events and going around the city with friends, and hopefully my and others' experiences of living in Beijing/China, will help us to contribute to a different view than maybe people new to the city/China wouldn't otherwise see. So also hoping to draw a lot of other FriendFeeders going to the Games to share their firsthand accounts, and looking forward to all the comments from people.

    Thanks for the links, especially Chad's blog and Friendfeed.

    The 2008 Olympics toolbar is also pretty cool : http://2008summergames.ourtoolbar.com/

    Looks like it includes most of your links above plus it's categorized - video, photos, results, news, athletes, across multiple sources. Pretty cool.

    those were some pretty cool ways to keep up to date on the olympics, which turned out okay.

    i'm sure the sports and the games were excellent, but unforunately for people in the usa, the time difference was 12 hours, so when most everyone was asleep here, they were getting their game on.

    so that made watching the games live, practically impossible, and it cut the ability to see them by about 75%.

    we also found out how serious china is with these games. they excelled in so many game it was incredible. definitely see them continuing to be the usa's biggest competition in the sports in the years to come.
