The First Rule Of The Olympics: You
Can't Talk About The Olympics

The First Rule Of The Olympics: You
Can't Talk About The Olympics 08/20/2004 02:25 AM
We've already talked about how the Olympics forced certain radio stations to pull their internet streams because they weren't approved for internet broadcasts of the Olympics, and now comes the news that no athletes participating in the games are allowed to talk about their experiences on websites. Considering the number of empty seats (and the weak television coverage), giving the games a more personal feel, letting the athletes talk for themselves (rather than those sappy profiles on TV) would help people to connect more with the games. That, though, would involve remembering that the games are actually about what happens in the events, and not how much the Olympics can squeeze out of sponsors. Haven't they figured out yet, that if no one cares about the games, no one will want to sponsor the Olympics any more? As for those who dare to disobey and actually talk about their experiences online? The Olympics are threatening to remove their credentials or possibly "take legal action for any monetary damages." Monetary damages? From posting your thoughts on the games? Seems pretty clear just how focused the Olympic organizers are on money instead of the athletes and the contests.

On a related note, thanks to Google for making this year's April Fool's Day so damned entertaining on so many different levels. Keep up the excellent work and teasing....

The Creativity Of Crowds?

The Creativity Of Crowds? 07/21/2004 12:59 PM
With all the talk about smart mobs and the wisdom of crowds, everyone seems to be looking at how we're becoming a collaboration nation -- working together to get stuff done. However, when it comes to more creative works of art, it appears the mob mentality doesn't work so well. In some, more highly structured areas it does seem to work okay. Wikipedia is used as an example, where a large collaborative group has done very creative work. However, more free form artistic works seem to fizzle as the lack of direction basically leads to very little worth talking about. With Wikipedia, the structure is clear and it's easy to see how someone can add in their own part. Other collaborative art projects get bogged down however, as no one knows where to begin -- or where everyone disagrees on where to begin.
