A place to share and discuss social media about the Beijing Olympics from August 1 to the Closing Ceremony - whether you'll be in Beijing or not, please feel free add anything to the room
Thank you all for joining in on this room - I really hope that everyone had fun with it! I have a lot of left over social media to add - I think what I'll do is add it to my blog and then reshare it here. Thanks again!
raining right now in Beijing, so not sure if I should go to the women's 20K race in the Bird's Nest or not. I will be under the roof however, so only the athletes will be getting wet ;-(
here is my Qik profile and stream from the Games! wish Qik was linked directly into friendfeed, would be a great combo. For now, I guess I'll just link to each individual stream or you guys can watch my main stream on the link above.

"U.S. swimmer Jessica Hardy was booted from the Olympic Summer Games for using the banned substance Clenbuterol. In what seems to be typical inconsistency on the part of the IOC, some of Hardy's competitors and team-mates are using similar asthma drugs legally. Most notably, Dara Torres, who at 41 is swimming faster than ever. Yet she claims she is as clean as an Irish whistle."

Bush to Hu: "Americans have bought the shit from Chinese factories, and China has bought the shit from the US treasury debt. Ain't globalization great? You pollute your environment, and we pollute the financial system. That's what friends are for."
welcome all to the first day of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games! Should be a very fun ride! This room is open to any and all social media around the Games, so please feel free to be social!
