SI.com - NCAA eases restrictions on live updates

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA eased its restrictions on blogging and said live updates from its events are permitted as long as they are limited to scores and time remaining.

Well it appears that NCAA is getting this one figured out and in my opinion they got this one right….now if they could just do something about the BCS…

NCAA’s stance on blogs hurts the sports fans

NCAA’s stance on blogs hurts the sports fans- al.com

The NCAA has done such a superior job of improving academic fraud, gambling, recruiting violations, drug use, proper tuition in scholarships and escalating athletic costs that it’s now tackling more serious matters: Blogging.

The public relations fallout from this story is so absurd, only the NCAA could be involved. The NCAA wants more control of its product in what could be a landmark case between the media and sports organizations over how news is reported.

This has been an interesting story to follow. At the College World Series a blogger was asked to leave as he was posting “real-time” information which violates some contracts the NCAA has with various organizations ($$$). Some would argue, was it really real-time? Lots of questions followed. This is causing even more people to take note about the role of Blogs.

I found this particular commentary particularly interesting.

Tech blogs go from hobbies to businesses - USATODAY.com

Tech blogs go from hobbies to businesses - USATODAY.com

Suddenly, TechCrunch could make or break a start-up. Entrepreneurs swarmed Arrington at conferences. Several showed up at his house one morning and banged on the windows until he let them in, he says. He hired five full-time and 16 part-time employees, and broke the news that Google was acquiring YouTube.

Seems blogs are receiving a bit more attention lately. This article is an entertaining read that shows exactly how influential Blogs are becoming. It’s interesting to think about how the influence has moved from companies, consultants, or organizations, to specific individuals. Find someone whose opinion you value and you can read their blog.

Joost

Here’s a really cool development Joost (pronounced juice). It allows you to watch TV on your PC for free. But it appears to use P2P technology. The don’t say that in big words up front. When you sign up they tell you that you are agreeing to have the program use some of your bandwidth and it will run in the background unless you completely shut the software down. Very cool idea.

But you need an invitation too….a quick web search revealed this page where you can get an invite.
