NBCOlympics.com outpacing '04 and '06 combined Olympic ratings are outpacing Athens 2004 at a healthy clip, but NBCOlympics.com page views are absolutely obliterating the numbers from two and four years earlier. Through the first eight days of the Beijing Games, the network’s Olympic site has generated 628 million page views, or 12 percent more than the combined total for the full Torino 2006 and Athens 2004 Games, which totaled 561 million. Some 31.1 million videos have been streamed on the site, almost three times the combined total of Torino and Athens, which drew 10.8 million.

It’s providing live feeds from 25 sports, the first time it has used live video, and has many more hours of on-demand highlights and features.   Blame Bono for the latest U2 tracks leaked on web Was Bono engaging in a little pro-bono for U2 fans? Apparently the Irish rock band U2's famous frontman is to blame for the unauthorized online release of a handful of songs from the band's upcoming album, at least inadvertently. Four songs from "No Line On The Horizon" were reportedly posted on YouTube after a passerby heard and recorded the songs Bono was playing loudly on his stereo in his villa in the south of France. The songs, including the track "Sexy Boots," are no longer available on the popular video-sharing site. U2 has had previous trouble with unreleased music getting into the wrong hands. Just before the release of their last album, "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb," a CD containing unfinished music from the album was stolen at a photo shoot, also in the south of France. Those tracks, however, never leaked, though finished ones from the CD eventually went online early.   With its launch next week, WB.com adding shows If you’re missing your “Firefly” fix but don’t want to pay for the downloads, The WB.com will soon come to your rescue.

Meanwhile, WBlender allows users to take clips from WB shows such as “Friends” and “The O.C.” to create mash-ups.   Obama sets hearts a-Twitter as its most-followed man Who’s the most-followed man on Twitter, the site that tracks the daily activities of the technology-inclined?
