First "socmed" games?

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

I have been interested in the LOCOG insistence that the 2012 games are the first 
"social media" games.  (Apparently 2010 didn't count since the winter Olympics 
aren't "real" Olympic games: ancient Greece had no curling sheets, and there were 
problems using Mount Olympus for the downhill events.)

It's particularly interesting that so many people are having problems using social 
networking to watch the "first social media games" ...

It is also true that the higher up the [security] scale someone
wishes to appear, the higher the incidence of his or her use of
words of Norman French and Latin origin.  We use terms like
`prevent.'  What's wrong with `stop'?  It's shorter and just as
good.                                             - Angus McIlwraith
