There has been a lot of buzz around social media’s role in the 2012 Summer Olympic games, and with the opening ceremonies just around the corner, we thought we should take a look at who the big players are in the Social Media Olympics – the Socialympics! Here’s a list of Twitter handles that won’t disappoint when it comes to sharing a behind the scenes look at what’s happening in London.
