PostRank™

As we blogged prior to the start of the Olympics, to help you keep up with all the news of the Games, we’ve put together an Olympic topic, and we’re also going to present the top stories each day during the Olympics — the gold, silver and bronze medalists, if you will.

Rankings are for stories from the previous day, so today’s rankings are for Wednesday’s top stories. Additionally, we do cull any non-Olympic-related stories that come up in the rankings to keep things relevant.

And if I may indulge, I’d like to add a personal shout-out to the Norwegian men’s curling team’s pants. If a quick pulse-taking of the socialmediasphere is any indication, they’re off the charts for audience engagement.

The Olympics have returned to Canada this year, and with the opening ceremonies taking place today, we’re pretty excited!

Whether your favourite sport involves flying through the air or gliding down the ice, we want to help you keep up with all the best Olympic coverage with our Olympics 2010 topic. Want to know everything that’s going on, or are you just passionate about one sport? We have a big Olympic feed with all the sources we can find, as well as separate topics by sport.

Each day during the Olympics, we’ll be blogging from the podium, so to speak, presenting virtual gold, silver, and bronze medals in engagement for the previous day’s Olympic content. And after the closing ceremonies, we’ll be awarding overall bragging rights to the sites that garnered the most social media engagement from their audiences over the course of the 2010 Winter Games.

We’ve also put together an Olympic Twitter account and Twitter lists if you prefer your news and social interaction bite-sized. We have an overall Olympics list, and separate lists by sport. You can find those on our PostRank Twitter lists page.

But just like those Olympic athletes we’ll be cheering on, we can’t do it alone. We need your help to make the PostRank Olympic topics the best they can be! There are 15 sports in the Games, and athletes participating from over 80 nations. And let’s not forget the Olympic-related organizations, news coverage, and other commentary that’ll be going on.

There’s a lot of content out there, and while we’re working hard to gather up and organize as much of it as we can, collectively you know way more than we do. If you know of an Olympic athlete, commentator, news site, country’s team, or Olympic-related organization we don’t have in our topics or Twitter lists yet, let us know at olympics@postrank.com and we’ll add it right away. Content from outside North America is especially welcome. (It doesn’t have to be in English; it just needs to have an associated RSS feed.)

The 2010 Olympic Winter Games are gonna be great, and we don’t want you to miss a moment!
