Google's World Cup
If you're not already tracking the World Cup via the app going around Facebook, or indeed the most excellent spreadsheet being circulated via pressf1.pcworld.co.nz - or if you're looking for some supplemental software action - then checkout the rugby World Cup additions Google has just made to its iGoogle personalised home page service. There are live scores, result tables, a noise-maker, fan videos around YouTube, plus Google Earth satellite pics for tracking your boss if he happens to be spending six weeks in France following the action (hi Dave!).
Check it out at www.google.com.au/rugby2007

Hey Chris thanks for flagging this Google World Cup app, another cool service (and company I work with) is called MediaZone and provides high quality, 24-hour delay On Demand coverage of ALL 48 matches, as well as live audio feeds, match previews, halftime and fulltime highlights and Interviews. You can check out this action for FREE for a limited time to watch France vs. Argentina and New Zealand vs. Italy duke it out by going to this site & entering the promo code: www.rugbyworldcupvideo.com/free, promo code: KEY77GHY.
If you’re an ardent rugby fan like myself that doesn’t want to miss the action yet is constrained by televised hours due to work, all the details on RWC Plus that is produced in association with MediaZone can be found here: www.rugbyworldcup.com/video ;. In addition, there’s the MediaZone Rugby channel that offers over 250 rugby matches in 2007-08 such as Tri-Nations, June Tours and Currie Cup. Let me know what you think and here’s to some more salivating clashes in the coming days.
