Filters are overrated:

Thanks to everyone for joining in and making the SpoFi Olympic GameTime Awesome Campfire Chat System Thing (SOGACCST) a success yesterday. It was the best place on the web to get real-time updates, with insightful commentary and even stunning visuals direct from the TV feed (thanks, mkn!).

A big, big shout-out to qbert72 and Amateur for subsidizing the operation.

I'm not sure what will happen long-term with this chat thing. I'd like to post the transcripts on the wiki (once we get the whole double wiki situation figured out). But for now, while commenting is still down, the Campfire rooms are still open for business. Drop by and say hi:

And while we were away the collaborative bookmarking spofi group at ma.gnolia launched. Fire away. All the stuff that isn't necessarily thread worthy but still worth sharing. and links for good resources. Or something.

ma.gnolia? Quite a bit of a del.icio.us clone there, even with the url. Anyway, the campfirenow thing is pretty sweet. Will definitely be there for the semis tomorrow.

Not to be self-promoting but, other than having the group feature RawSugar is much better. Of course I work at RawSugar ;) Still, I think our service is better.

I tried to join the chatasm, but it looks all fucky and I'm not sure if what I'm typing is even getting through. Any ideas?
