Countdown. 10 Seconds Until Freedom in Beijing
How live is live at the Beijing Olympics? A 10 second delay for television broadcasts means that updates outside television broadcasts are likely to be the most live.
With broadcasts being monitored for undesirable incidents, local attendees and citizens are likely to find alternate channels for video, text and audio from the Olympic Games in Beijing. Lets just hope Twitter and it’s local cohorts (Jiwai (with an awesome live tweetmap), Fanfou, Komoo, Ilaodao, Wulog, Taotao and Zuosa) can handle the load.
China is no different to the rest of the world. You can’t stop the signal. Censors: you’re not the only one watching. You’re being watched, tracked and mapped: Access Denied Map












The mens 100 metres will be all over before it’s telecast
I never thought of that, your right.
