So you may have noticed that the winter olympics have all of a sudden taken center stage in the news. If your like me, then your way behind on what is happening. But fear not, because of the capabilities of the internet, you can easily get caught up in all the action. For that, you can go to http://www.nbcolympics.com/.

Another difference in this year’s games is that the internet and social media have become more involved with the olympics. There is an official fan page of this year’s games on Facebook which gives updated photos and results. Twitter has put together a list of many of the athletes who have an account, who will tweet during the games. This puts an interesting twist and on the games and could get people to pay more attention.

The Vancouver Winter Games will take place between February 12-28.
