Greetings Technorati members and BC Nation...

This week on Blogcritics our Olympic-sized coverage of the Winter Games in Vancouver continues with Matt Sussman's "big and brawny" Olympic curling preview, while Semprini ponders the implications of patriotism, nationalism, and the Olympics.

Elsewhere on BC, our crack team of reviewers continues our commitment to pointing our readers in all the right directions when it comes to what's hot and what's not. El Bicho checks out the latest from the Johnny Cash/Rick Rubin series of American Recordings: Aint' No Grave; Luigi Bastardo sinks his teeth into Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant on Blu-ray; and Nancy Fontaine reads Shankar Vendantam's The Hidden Brain.

All of that plus demographic myth-making, Microsoft Googling, and more await you this week at the mighty Blogcritics Magazine.

Toyota testifies! Team USA accumulates! Betty White triumphs! Twitter monetizes! And that's just a taste of what's in the headlines at Technorati this week.

What an exciting week in news — Technorati's Olympic coverage would make even Bob Costas jealous. In our ongoing Olympic coverage, Dawn Olsen gives Russian men's figure skater Evgeni Plushenko the beatdown for being such a whiny little girl. Elsewhere, Bradford Schmidt predicts the coming of ads to Twitter, while Politics editor Matt Sussman thinks the liberal pundits could use a fresh dose of President Sarah Palin. Our reality TV expert Alicia Milan is keeping up with her American Idols. Christopher Califf ponders whether our dependence on the Internet is a good or bad thing. Bradford Schmidt explains how Facebook helped prompt an SNL Betty White appearance, and Don Martelli says Toyota's not just apologizing and testifying but offering some sweet deals (for the risk-takers out there).
