…tweet your mind
In case you haven’t heard these are the “Smart Olympics.” As in the Olympics of the smartphone, not as in the above average intelligence Olympics.
As foretold, smartphones and, perhaps more prominently, tweets have ruled this week of competition, in more ways than we could possibly have imagined.
If it hasn’t been an athlete making racist comments, it’s been athletes protesting rules about sponsors or officials asking spectators to please not tweet complaints.
Who knew the twittersphere could handle such range. Imagine what week 2 could bring. It’s enough to make you cringe, or run to you Twitter app.
It’d be a shame to miss any of the action, and I hear there are athletic events too!

Wait- smart phones don’t make us intelligent? You mean lack of time to think things through can affect the quality of the thoughts? Go figure…
I heard via Twitter that, “London bridge is falling down. Falling down!” Wait maybe that’s an old tweet I’m just confusing with a recent tweet. So many opinions,so little time.
