London 2012 billed itself as the "first social media Olympics," but that hasn't necessarily been a good thing so far. A Los Angeles-based correspondent for the UK newspaper The Independent was banned from Twitter for publishing the email address of Gary Zenkel, who is in charge of NBC's Olympic coverage. The British correspondent, Guy Adams, took to Twitter to decry NBC's decision to run the Opening Ceremony on a tape delay. The ceremony started at 4 p.m. Eastern in the U.S., but was not aired on NBC until 7 p.m. Eastern. West Coast viewers had to wait even longer.
