While the entire World is solemnly invited to “Celebrate humanity”, in Athens 2004 Olympic Games, more and more skeptical opinions on the Olympics are heard; many scholars diagnose the era of post-Olympism. It’s definitely clear though that Olympic Games still is the biggest international event which carries multiple cultural messages. By organizers Games are praised as the celebration of many all encompassing values: humanity, noble competition, equality… Started in 776 BC, reborn in 1896, in 2004 Olympics are promised to be more exciting than ever; and...

After overviewing the IOC marketing policy and the first stages of relationship between Olympics and world wide web and I want to focus on the present “pre-Athens 2004” situation in the field of new media. As M.de Moragas Spa noticed in his research in 2001, after the big effort was necessary for starting new regulations in broadcasting media as well as own communicational proposals on the internet. The scholar claimed that new big communication groups will strive for new means of exclusivity in global scale and new ways of concentration will be...

All names: military and defense organization (“unstoppable team”) U.S. Army, a person J. Kerry (“courageous leader”), E! (“number one entertainment”) are promoted and advertised to be associated with certain psychological meanings. One can see how internet affordances extend traditional means of branding and understanding of what can be branded. www.goarmy.com: join the unstoppable...

After reading this L. van Middelaar text on anti-globalization I was thinking on his discussion that war in Iraq is not "all about petrol". Even though didn't write any critical question on this, I didn't like the way this topic was approached in the text. Too shallow, too narrow and lacking broader view and few minutes ago I noticed that an on-line conference with politics scholar dr. T.D. Clark from U.S. (Creighton University, Nebraska, Omaha; he teaches international relations and works much on post soviet democracies) is being...

What arguments are provided not to include economical (or business) solutions to this relationship? L. van Middelaar quotes Hernando de Soto, who states that for capital transfers...

And now (what is absolutely not according to my works' schedule...) I read read read and read them. And find much fun. So far, blogging in Lithuanian is mostly popular among computing fans and IT specialists, and I found only one politician's blog. She appears to be the mom of my ex-college, who is a computer programmer. One mobile company portal offers place to blogs (in Lithuanian they are cold "diaries") and here you can find many teenagers' love stories, photoes...
