For some reason the Winter Olympics has left me cold this time, practically frost bitten in fact but as a sports fan, I worry I’m missing something so the Twitter Tracker from US news channel NBC looked a good bet – you click on a photo of an Olympic star and it shows everything being said about them.

Not knowing who any of them are though, is a drawback and in terms of holding interest, Twitter Tracker goes downhill rapidly from there – like whoever won the skiing.

The main Twitter feed is a better bet. NBC’s has 65K followers – a gold medal winning ski jump ahead of the official Vancover 2010 one which has 13K followers – worldwide, slightly embarrassing, Richard Madeley has more than that.

There’s a volte-face when you compare their Facebook pages though, Vancover 2010 has almost one million fans, while NBC’s Facebook icon directs to my personal Facebook page, at least on my computer – and I have no fans at all.

Furlong PR has a mighty 7 fans though, a very select bunch, I urge you to join and unlike private members club, One Alfred Place, I promise I won’t try and throw you out for overuse.

By the way, does that Evan Lysacek have a look of Robin Cousins about him?
