Google版：台灣奧運得牌數

今天也看到Google的奧運得牌資訊地圖，
找了半天台灣，沒找到，
從Chinese Taipei找到，顯示的國旗當然也是奧運會旗。

連上前兩日Post的紐時得牌資訊地圖看，
發現原先紐時只做到2004雅典奧運，
現已update到2008北京奧運目前的資料，漂亮！（速度真快）


閱讀欣賞紐約時報奧運特別報導的其他報導(上圖)，
紐時的報導真優質、資料又多，
多媒體、照片、文章、資料回顧...太佩服了！

例如，這篇〈China’s Leaders Try to Impress and Reassure World〉，
我在奧運開幕後第二天看完，
這篇文章左邊有圖組、有MP3音檔，文內有人物、有連結、有數字、有觀點...
我最喜歡這兩段：
"Any Olympic opening is a propaganda exercise, but Friday night’s blockbuster show demonstrated the broader public relations challenge facing the Communist Party as China becomes richer and more powerful. The party wants to inspire national pride within China, and bolster its own legitimacy in the process, even as leaders want to reassure the world that a rising China poses no danger."

"Just as men really cannot fly, art is not reality. As Friday night proved, art and artifice can inspire. One burden of staging one spectacular show is that people will want and expect an even more spectacular one in the future. And as China’s leaders celebrate, that is the challenge facing them."

身為讀者，是一種幸福！
