Vancouver is far too social media/citizen journalism positive for them to ignore us. Not only that but by agreeing to allow citizen journalism, Vancouver would be a trend setter and forever be known as the city that started the citjour movement at the olympics. @KK - dude, that's *my* plan. Thailand for 2 weeks I think. I want a bamboo tattoo from a monk! @Bradley the IOC is monolithic, but VANOC is more agile, and will be left in the dust if they don’t change.

Don't hold your breath waiting for this kind of acceptance. I encourage new media types to blaze their own path as they have before. Others will follow. As much as I love winter sports, I hope to be digesting their reports from a beach somewhere on Maui or, better yet, Molokai.
