These random thoughts will cover everything across the spectrum from news and sports to entertainment and technology. You name it...we can discuss it. And that's the key...I'm looking for feedback and interaction from all the Die Hards out there on posts, what you want to see from the site, etc.
So without further ado...here's the first ever MEMO:
- The Olympics have taken over and have already provided us with some fantastic moments. However, last night was a dud. NBC probably suffered because of the lack of star power in play last night and was instead stuck with trying to convince Americans Synchronized Swimming was Must See TV. But who are we kidding? Without the likes of Michael Phelps (qualifying swim doesn't count) and Shawn Johnson the night felt a little off. The highlight of the night was seeing Mary Carillo's report on the food in China. Love me some fried Scorpion...Luckily, Bob Costas can make almost anything interesting in studio, but won't need to stretch too much tonight since swimming and gymnastics will once again take center stage.
- NBC seems surprised by the number of mobile viewers that are watching the Olympics on the phones. This is one area broadcasting is headed (not to mention online) and until now there hasn't been a big enough event on the medium to test its popularity. Seems like NBC is figuring out people like to receive and digest content on their own terms...Eyes are opening...
- And finally...check out the blog Fourth Place Medal for always updated commentary on the Games.
