Sochi made it

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

So Sochi made it. Good for them. Some of the people who helped us, helped them. Winning formula, no doubt very bankable 😉 I have met with several people from Sochi and I have no doubt they will do a great job. VANOC folks seem intrigued with the idea of working with the Sochi folks. But the Sochi OCOG (another SOCOG perhaps) has a lot to do and will need to be very careful. I also rather liked this post though I must say the idea that there ought to be logic in the IOC voting process is pure romance at best.

Linked-in vs Facebook

This Dave Winer comment is interesting. I like Facebook. I have never really liked Linked-in.

VANOC – who next?

At VANOC in the Project Review meeting with IOC technology. Quite a lot of talk about the next winter city. My money is on Sochi. We’ll all be round the TV watching the announcement tomorrow.

Vancouver

Just heading out to run through technology budget stuff with some of the Vancouver team. And hoping that the shenanigans in Glasgow don’t have too much of a ripple effect on check-in at Heathrow. I am leaving lots of time though 😉
