How are you following the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games?
Considered to be the first ever digital games, the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games are providing us with a multitude of ways to follow the games. Unlike ever before, the Vancouver Olympics will be subject to widespread coverage from web media both from official and non-official sources. For the first time, every second of every event will be streamed live online at CTVOlympics.ca offering the home viewer the ability to watch any event they choose.
So after day 1, I thought it would be neat to share how I am consuming the games so far and would love to hear how you are.
Here is a list of the mediums I am using to stay up to date:
- CTV/TSN - CTV/TSN, have joined forces to cover the Olympics on TV. Even though I spend most of my time on the web, the TV has been on CTV since the Olympics started. I know that is not great for the environment, but I want to cheer my country on and this is the best way for me to do that. Also, watching the games with the my wife and young kids has been a great experience thus far. CTV has also set up a site where you can catch the latest scores, news and select video coverage of the competitions.
- Twitter - Like all newsworthy events, Twitter is a great source for up to date information on what is happening at the Olympics. It was Twitter where I found out about the unfortunate death of the Georgian luger. There is even a dedicated website for the athletes at the Olympics who are on Twitter.
- Facebook - Similar to Twitter, I find a great source of information on the games via Facebook's news feed. There is also a Vancouver 2010 Fan Page that has some great photos and inside Olympic information.
There you have it, the three ways I have been following the games so far. How are you following the games? Anyone following the games via their mobile phone? If so, please share how.
