I don’t watch much television but I really enjoy the Olympics! Okay, yeah…enough with the beach volleyball. It’s good but come on. And yes, some of the up close and personal features are way overboard, but the competitions themselves are facinating and often inspiring . I joined the local YMCA after the 2004 Olympics because I got so intrigued with the swimming events, and while Michael Phelps probably wouldn’t be impressed, I can do “the turn” and trust me, it’s cool.
Work and TV schedules often interfere with my Olympic intake so I turn to the blogosphere for help.
Some BlogBurst bloggers have provided some amazing coverage:
Beijing Olympic Games 2008
The Olympics
Fourth-Place Medal, Yahoo! Sports Olympics blog
I also found an article listing some of the olympic athlete’s blogs. Anybody know of any others?

Our German lab recently bought itself an AMD Athlon 64 2000+ processor, which only consumes 8 W of power. Clearly, this would make for a good face-off against Intel’s energy-efficient Atom.

Howdy folks-
Looks like we got a nice write-up about Blogburst from impNERD. It is always nice to be appreciated, and in particular I truly think that the piece places the correct emphasis on the value of Blogburst.
Indirectly, the SEO value is amazing. The more eyes that view a post the better. If your post is picked up, you have the potential of tens-of-thousands of eye balls glaring at your post. A few of them might own blogs. They might also click-through to your website and link to it.
The true objective of Blogburst is to get exposure for the everyday blogger. There are certainly some nice knock-on effects, and it never hurts to get some extra quarterly cash if you’re a top performer in our system, but the core purpose for Blogburst is to get a blogger out in front of as many people as possible.
Having this purpose recognized, and reinforced, is a pleasant event. Furthermore, we are always looking for new publishing partners and methods with which we can syndicate and distribute the content within Blogburst - content that we believe to be of high quality, and worthy of distribution.
Kudos to impNERD!

SLI support has been Nvidia’s only advantage in performance chipsets, but the 790i Ultra SLI is proving to be tough competition for Intel’s X48 Express. Today we test every available model using the graphics giant’s latest chipset technology.

According to study conducted by media research analysis firm Cision, the mention of blogs in national magazine and newspaper publication has increased more than 16-fold over the last five years. Of the top 20 publications reviewed, blogs and bloggers were mentioned more than 13,000 times during a one-year period ending June 2008.
From Cision’s press release:
“This stunning growth in blogger influence magnifies the importance of employing common sense when contacting bloggers,” said Peter Granat, Cision Executive Vice President. “Knowing the blogger and his/her focus is the critical element in a successful blog relations campaign. While many blogs are highly visible in their own right, the growing influence with the mainstream media elevates their importance.”
A recent survey conducted by public relations firm Brodeur Partners found that 57% of 178 journalists contacted read blogs at least 2-3 per week. 18% read blogs on a daily basis.
The PRWeek/PR Newswire Media Survey revealed that nearly 40 percent of the participating journalists employ blogs to find topics for stories, 30 percent use them to find experts, and nearly 58 percent use them to measure sentiment.

Originally developed for use in nettops, the Atom is now available for desktops. But how economical is the little platform, and is it powerful enough to handle daily work requirements?
