CNN has been busy twittering during the Olympics, often providing real-time updates of event results as they occur. Normally, people would be stoked about such instant coverage of international news, but the time delay of when the events occur in Beijing and when they hit the U.S. television airwaves has some people annoyed that CNN's tweets are ruining their Olympic experience. Personally, I like knowing how the athletes are doing as the events occur. I (like many, I assume) don't have five hours a night to sit through trampolining and floor exercise and appreciate the periodic updates. Don't like CNN tweeting results? Don't follow them.
