MyPicks Olympics

The Olympic games have always been about bringing the world together. Since the whole world’s gone Olympic crazy (literally), it was only a matter of time until the madness crept onto Facebook—which connects people from well, around the world.

Today, Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced their release of a new Facebook application entitled MyPicks Beijing 2008. The game will allow users to pick gold, silver and bronze medalists for each of the events. If their predictions are correct, they will score points for their country (U-S-A! U-S-A!). The country that accumulates the highest amount of points will be declared winner of the MyPicks Beijing 2008 Games!
