Visual Olympics coverage

August 11th, 2008 by Andy Merchant

The Olympics is up and running, and if like me you’re interested in the latest news but don’t have access to a TV in your office, a good visual place to start and get the latest breaking reaction from is Dailylife. -

“We started Dailylife because we think publishers should be able to offer their readers the entire web of news, and for readers that news should be less work and more fun. We simplify the complex news landscape, making it a personal, visceral experience instead of a daily chore.”

The site is split up into articles, photos, topics and quotes. The articles have related stories attached to them so you can read more about a particular story from another news source. Photos and quotes are probably my favourite parts of the site. Some of the images are stunning and give you a real sense of occasion and drama, and by hovering over the image you also get a text box that tells you the story behind the image. The quotes section is also a nice addition with some memorable quotes given by top competitors.
