Dot-com gets the gold in Sydney

Olympic credentials have been issued to just one dot-com in the world: Quokka Sports. Taken from the name of a rare Australian marsupial, Quokka is partnering with NBC to bring you Web coverage of the games. So what's so special about Quokka, and why are the other dot-coms missing the boat?

U.S. Olympic athletes have been convening in San Diego during the past few weeks for "team processing." This includes receiving credentials for this month's Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, being photographed and fingerprinted. It also includes learning the do's and don'ts of Olympic competition: no steroids, no wearing branded clothing of unauthorized sponsors when receiving medals, and this year, no Web diaries.
