The Torino 2006 Winter Olympics are now one click closer with the launch of CBC's www.cbc.ca/olympics. Conceived and created by Toronto-based agency Indusblue, the site design and information architecture is a fresh take on previous CBC Olympic sites. The new layout will update text and photo blocks more easily, enabling CBC.ca's visitors to navigate and access specific content quickly and easily.
By the time the Olympic torch is lit on Feb. 10, the site will include a suite of results, events and broadcast schedules, a photo gallery as well as a downloadable ticker showing up to date results on a user's personal desktop. Surfers will also be able to access additional CBC Olympic content through interactive services such as breaking news alerts, e-mail newsletters, Mobile/PDA downloads, podcasts and RSS newsfeeds.
