Olympics links... Happy 8-08-008

Wired Magazine says, "The 2008 Beijing Olympics will happen while most Americans are sleeping. While NBC, the games' official media outlet in the United States, will be providing thousands of hours of content on the web, the only way to truly ensure you won't miss too many record-breaking moments is to spread yourself across the web and take advantage of the many video outlets online." So, they launched a Wiki article: Watch the Olympics Online.

The Summer Games Channel on YouTube will provide a burgeoning collection of professional video content produced by the Associated Press, The New York Times, Getty Images, Reuters, France 24, The Travel Channel, GroundReport, Euronews, and Paralympic Sport TV. The Summer Games channel has the official backing of some of the top sources around.
