Starting a 2012 London Olympics project (Wordever team assemble)
Hi everyone, my name is Matt and I have an idea for what could potentially put Wordever on the screens of many computers. To get a lot of traffic we're going to need to provide large, concentrated amounts of information on an up-to-date basis with a relevant topic. Currently, the London Olympics are definitely such a topic. There are scores of information to be had and you can't deny the fact that not only the entire country will be watching, but the entire world. I've spoken to Nick on this subject and he thinks it's a good idea for the future of the site.
I'm going to create a new topic entitled, "2012 London Olympics." Then whoever wishes to be a contributor, send me an email (I'll put my information below), and I'll follow you then enable you to contribute to that topic. From there we will proceed to post clips of articles, videos, interviews, and any other coverage we can find, onto the topic. There are 41 events in the Summer Games when all the categories are fully spread open (i.e. Volleyball = Beach Volleyball and 'regular'). They are as follows:
-Triathlon
-Rowing
-Sailing
-Shooting
-Archery
-Judo
-Modern pentathlon
-Athletics
-Taekwondo
-Aquatics
-Swimming
-Diving
-Water Polo
-Synchronized Swimming
-Canoe/Kayak
-Sprint
-Slalom
-Equestrian
-Jumping
-Eventing
-Dressage
-Gymnastics
-Trampoline
-Artistic Gymnastics
-Rhythmic Gymnastics
-Tennis
-Table Tennis
-Badminton
-Rugby
-Handball
-Hockey
-Football
-Basketball
-Fencing
-Boxing
-Wrestling
-Freestyle
-Greco-Roman
-Volleyball
-Beach Volleyball
-Volleyball
-Cycling
-BMX
-Road
-Track
-Mountain Bike
-Golf
The number of people that want in on this project will determine if it is a success or not. It would be incredibly difficult for two or three people to try and cover all the events mentioned thoroughly so I'm hoping we get many people interested in this project. Send me an email with your name and what events (because there's no way someone will only get one, sorry) you'd like to cover and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Nicolas Nguyen
This is a really grand idea. We could create a topic for every sport and attract worldwide attention. I highly encourage the Twitter team, Facebook team, and Youtube team to help coordinate coverage across all social marketing channels.
Nicolas Nguyen
Matt @mmue11er please count me in. We could curate the content which could be distributed to Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc.
Rafael De La Torre
I agree. we can all cover simultaneously. But we would definitely need to get a bulk of people involved to catch up. Video might be hard to get on youtube. But if YT has olympic streams then I can definitely do that.
Maryam Shamlou
Count me in as well. I'd be working as part of the Wordever twitter marketing team.
Matt Mueller
Okay guys, due to the sheer amount of sports in the Summer Games, we wont all be covering the one sport that we know and follow. Each person will be covering a few that you'
Matt Mueller
d most likely be unfamiliar with. And Nick, you wanna make a seperate topic for each one? I was under the impression we'd put everything in one spot, but I can see how your idea would be more feasible. Brandon, I won't send the email seeing as how I already know you're willing and what sport you'd prefer. Regina and Rafael, do your responses mean you're in? Sorry, I just wanna be precise. I'll talk more about this tomorrow. (Sorry for the cutoff, I accidentally pressed enter),
Michael Alajian
I can cover aquatic sports; water polo and swimming preferably, since those are the aquatic sports I have the most knowledge in. But I can also do basketball. Maybe football.
Nicolas Nguyen
I am playing around with a profile called Olympics London 2012. Maybe we could put all the olympics clips there? What are your thoughts?
Rafael De La Torre
@mmue11er Sorry, yeah i'm in. I can cover cycling, boxing and volleyball if none of those have been covered.
Matt Mueller
Nicolas, like you wanna make an entire new profile like the ones we're using now, but just title it London Olympics? Then we can all access it and create different topics? That could work, yeah
Nicolas Nguyen
Cool I'll post the login info on the Wordever private topic. Whichever way you think would be easier to manage.
Matt Mueller
Hey guys, sorry, I've been out of commission the past few days, dealing with some family issues. Now, I've seen the Olympic page and it looks good so far. What I wanna know is how have we divvied up the tasks/events between each of us? If we haven't properly done that then I can assign each person a few events. How does that sound?
Nicolas Nguyen
I'll take Taekwondo, Archery, Badminton and Table Tennis.
Nicolas Nguyen
Hi Matt, hope everything is going okay for you. Glad to see you back.
Stephon Gee
I'll take the throwing events.
Matt Mueller
I'd love to take aquatics (everything so swimming, water polo, synchro, etc) and volleyball (beach and regular). Objections?
Nicolas Nguyen
No, jump right in.
Nicolas Nguyen
I am just adding whatever news I see also.
Rafael De La Torre
i've been covering volleyball but feel free to add anything you think has not been covered.
Rafael De La Torre
we could use water polo coverage thought. we don't have much on that.
