Streaming the Olympics: How YouTube and NBC do it

3,500 hours of live coverage from the event on the web and through native apps .... A partnership with the IOC put YouTube in charge of the online video feeds for 64 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, including India, Singapore, Kenya, Ghana and Malaysia. ...... “We are using the backbone of a pretty scalable video delivery network”

The Olympic Games are quite a celebration of humanity. I want the next World Cup on YouTube as well, live as well as archived. .

Greek Athlete Kicked Off Olympic Team For Tweet

She tweeted, “with so many Africans in Greece, at least the West Nile mosquitos will be eating food from their own home.”

Free speech is protected but racist tweets bringing social ostracism is a good thing. This was a good move on the part of the nation of Greece.

Twitter Is Working on a Way to Retrieve Your Old Tweets

Twitter gives users access only to the last few thousand posts made to the site.... “We’re working on a tool to let users export all of their tweets,” Mr. Costolo said ..... “You’ll be able to download a file of them.”

Costolo is not getting it, is he? Who wants to download those tweets? I just want to access them. Don't cut me off at a few thousand. They are my tweets after all.

Twitter fundamentally misunderstands real time. Real time is real time also the way it was when it was. In the past.
