I’m so excited that the 2012 Olympics are already upon us! The Olympics start this Friday on July 27th. Mark your calendars for the Opening Ceremony in London, entitled “The Isles of Wonder,” beginning 7:30pm ET on NBC. For a schedule of NBC news coverage see their NBC Olympics website.
There’s an App for That!
Not able to get yourself in front of the TV? I won’t, I’ll be traveling, so I looked into what mobile apps are available. NBC is offering two free apps for Android and iOS:

Who’s Watching?
Curious as to who’s watching which events at the Summer Games? Here’s a breakdown by men vs. women. No surprise women’s favorite sports to watch are gymnastics and swimming. And women will be actively socialcasting more so than men through social media channels. Techbargains.com sent me this infographic based on their research which I just had to share. Enjoy and tweet me @wellconnectdmom your Olympic tweets!
