Olympics Sports News WAP Review: ESPN Gets Gold; Silver For Fox Sports; NBC And CBS Tie For Bronze
Summary:
In our second of a series (first is here) of reviews on mobile content from the Olympics, we took a look at the major sports news sites
m.nbcolympics.com
What is being compared here – generic sports sites or olympic news on wap sites? NBC has a dedicated wapsite for the olympics. thus if you are comparing sites that have the best olympics coverage shouldnt m.nbcolympcis.com be included- ie the dedicated site instead of NBC's generic sports site?
NBC's olympic coverage has been wretched at best. It isn't surprising that their mobile content is equally disappointing. It is crystal clear that NBC has no comprehension whatsoever of sports and sports broadcasting.
We are working on a series of reviews related to the Olympics. We've already reviewed the major search engines, and have plans for others. As I wrote in the story, we intentionally left out NBCOlympics.com in this one because for the purposes of this review we were looking at the the major sports news sites, not properties launched specifically for the Olympics. Those new properties, such as NBCOlympics.com will get standalone reviews because of the amount of content available there deserves just that.
The biggest question I have is why isn't SI's wap site included at all? After all they had the best Phelps shots of the close finish and the site is robust…do you not like SI? Is it an oversite?
They have been great with the games and no mention is the puzzlement
