On the International Space Station, the internet was installed. An astronaut made the first “tweet” from space, while connected. I don’t know if twitter paid him or not, but they should have. How much would TVG pay for an astronaut to make the first horse bet from space? I don’t know, but we should find out; it would be pretty cool.

Ustream has been pretty popular, and growing. Today they had close to 700,000 viewers for the Tiger Woods press conference. There should be more horse racing on this site, in my opinion, but either our customer base does not fit the user demographic, or there simply are not enough horse fans out there playing the races. I would guess it’s a little of both. There is some Latin-American racing on there, which I find a little odd. Who did I find that out from? Who else, Sid Fernando. If an obscure race, with obscure horses, with obscure pedigrees are racing, chances are Sid knows about it.
Speaking of Latin-America, the CEO of Sportingbet says watch out for this area of the world to be the next betting market. Is racing prepared for that?

Anyone watching the Olympics online? I have been at Vancouver2010.com. For virtually any event, you can get split times, scoring and more all in real time. It is a fabulous experience, and I often keep it going while I am watching anything with judging on the television. It amazes me how we can get such awesome data-power for the olympics, but we can not seem to get anything close for racing, with data and data innovation being vital to the sports existence.
Equibase did add weather and track condition via an RSS with mobile capability to their scratches page this week. That’s a good thing. I hear through the grapevine they are getting many hits a day for this service.
