spectacular summer may soon be over. -- a change is in the air.

:00:03.:00:07.

Now on BBC News it is time for Clique.

:00:07.:00:17.
:00:17.:00:36.

This week, we are racing to see what is happening online during the

:00:36.:00:40.

most social Olympic Games of all time. Which companies are making

:00:40.:00:45.

their presence known on social media? Is it worth the effort? And,

:00:45.:00:49.

A Room With A View, but will this and is based in Berlin fostered the

:00:49.:00:56.

next successful start-up? We will run rings around the Olympic sites

:00:56.:01:03.

for you in Webscape. Welcome.

:01:03.:01:07.

Unless you have been living in space, you will probably know there

:01:07.:01:12.

is a little sporting event starting in London next week. As well as

:01:12.:01:16.

hopefully a world record or two the 2012 Olympic Games are set to

:01:16.:01:21.

feature quite a few firsts, 3D, super high vision, and since

:01:21.:01:26.

Twitter hit critical mass around three years ago, hash tax. How will

:01:26.:01:30.

our compulsive sharing shaped the game's? We explore what happens

:01:30.:01:38.

when you mix big events with shows at -- with social media. Roll-up,

:01:38.:01:43.

Cashin, the 2012 Olympics are in town. Fun for all to be had,

:01:43.:01:48.

spectators, competitors and not least, the big brands. Who this

:01:48.:01:51.

time around are intent on luring us into their money-spinning merry-go-

:01:51.:01:57.

round. Of course, this year's Olympics and paramedics are set to

:01:57.:02:01.

be one of the most talked about the events on the planet, and in less

:02:01.:02:05.

than one week one-seventh of the world's population will tune in to

:02:05.:02:09.

see who crosses the finish line first. Technically speaking it was

:02:09.:02:16.

us three years ago. That is the finish line right there. Now, much

:02:16.:02:19.

of the �2 billion London 2012 will cost will come from advertising in

:02:19.:02:23.

the form of partnership and sponsorship. There is an array of

:02:23.:02:26.

different partners. You have Beattie, providing the network.

:02:26.:02:32.

Cisco are putting the network equipment in. Eight tossed to the

:02:32.:02:37.

integration. And make you do the results and scoring systems.

:02:37.:02:42.

Airwave provide a remote mobiles Easts service. Samsung the

:02:42.:02:47.

televisions. The past athletes would wear sponsored close or

:02:47.:02:52.

Branson who pay to have the Olympic logo on their products.

:02:52.:02:56.

But with the rise of social media, advertisers are moving away from

:02:56.:03:01.

traditional methods of broadcasting messages to a passive audience.

:03:01.:03:04.

Nowadays we are expected to engage with the product in ever more

:03:04.:03:11.

creative ways. Take Samsung, one of this year's top here sponsors. It

:03:11.:03:16.

has released a free application headed by David Beckham. The idea

:03:16.:03:21.

is for every mile you cycle, walk or run, Samsung will also donate �1

:03:21.:03:25.

to charity up until the end of the Olympic Games. There are raised

:03:25.:03:30.

over �150,000 so far. You have to let them have your location and

:03:30.:03:36.

your -- and have you GPS on. And the capital's very own wheel is

:03:36.:03:42.

harnessing the power of social media. EDF Energy's London I will

:03:42.:03:47.

use 640 likes to translate positive and negative Twitter mentions into

:03:47.:03:51.

art. Facebook has become over eight times bigger since the last

:03:51.:03:58.

Olympics. They have lodged explore 2012, a Facebook wall of fame,

:03:58.:04:01.

where fans can communicate with their favourite at 8, or engage

:04:01.:04:08.

with a sport, not just during the Olympics, but after. It becomes

:04:08.:04:12.

their communication platform. It is how they share their training

:04:12.:04:15.

regimen. They share photos with their families and friends. What is

:04:15.:04:19.

happening in their lives. Connecting during the Olympics is

:04:19.:04:24.

really important because the legacy lives on after the Olympics.

:04:24.:04:28.

hang on. Doesn't this at extra pressure to be sporting legend? We

:04:28.:04:33.

don't expect them to talk. We expect them to win. Boris Becker,

:04:33.:04:37.

one-time Olympian and full-time social media mogul, reckons it is

:04:37.:04:43.

great to be one click away from your adoring public. What you hear

:04:43.:04:47.

from personal friends is usually boring. It is never the truth. They

:04:47.:04:51.

have to speak. I am the same. Everybody says the same thing. But

:04:51.:04:57.

when you are in the middle of a conversation with your fans, you

:04:57.:05:01.

have to be honest about it, otherwise they go away. It is an

:05:01.:05:05.

athlete and honest and direct access to the world. -- it gives.

:05:05.:05:10.

That is very sexy. Sexy it may be by some athletes might not quite

:05:10.:05:14.

have the social graces of social media down yet. For example this

:05:14.:05:18.

Australian swimmer posted a picture of insults and a team-mate with

:05:18.:05:22.

guns on Facebook. The Australian Olympic Committee promptly told

:05:22.:05:27.

them to remove it. But even if you're afraid to put that -- do

:05:27.:05:32.

behave, can brands using social media really take gold with their

:05:32.:05:40.

extravagant campaigns? Surely it is all a bit of a gamble. In terms of

:05:40.:05:44.

demonstrating return on marketing investment in social media, Twitter

:05:44.:05:48.

campaigns, Facebook pages, it is more difficult to establish that

:05:48.:05:52.

return of Investment for companies at the moment. The companies that

:05:52.:05:55.

have a reasonably obvious fit to the Olympics will tend to be the

:05:55.:05:59.

ones that benefit the most. The ones that have a less obvious fit

:05:59.:06:03.

in the minds of the public, those are the ones that will have to work

:06:03.:06:07.

harder to get people talking about them with in social media. And with

:06:07.:06:10.

hundreds of thousands of visitors expected in London for the Olympics

:06:10.:06:16.

that is a lot of talking and a lot of trending. We have to understand

:06:16.:06:20.

how people are communicate and the impact. When we have a story, when

:06:21.:06:27.

something happens, the way the tone of the story, the pace of, the

:06:27.:06:31.

direction of the story, gets said in social media. We have to

:06:31.:06:35.

understand how that's all operating for us to be able to respond to the

:06:35.:06:40.

rhythm of the story as it develops. And that is the real white-knuckle

:06:40.:06:45.

ride for everyone's Games campaigns. Companies can no longer fully

:06:45.:06:55.
:06:55.:06:56.

control their brand's message, because we can't help joining in.

:06:56.:07:00.

Now look at this week's technology news. Skype has been busy rolling

:07:00.:07:04.

out a fix for a bug this week after users complained their instant

:07:04.:07:07.

messages ended up being sent to the wrong recipients. Skype said the

:07:08.:07:12.

problem only affected a small number of users, though with over

:07:12.:07:16.

500 million registered that could amount to being quite a few. I

:07:16.:07:19.

guess it is lucky people don't use instant message for anything

:07:19.:07:23.

private, right? Skype is going to be integrated into outlook for the

:07:24.:07:28.

latest version of Microsoft Office. The 23rd teen version of the

:07:28.:07:32.

productivity suite has been redesigned and is more mobile and

:07:32.:07:38.

touch-friendly. But it only works on Windows seven and Windows 8. A

:07:38.:07:42.

cut down free version is also available designed to compete with

:07:42.:07:46.

Google apps. Yahoo's search for a new executive is over. Marisa

:07:46.:07:53.

Paredes here is that 37-year-old who worked her way before being

:07:53.:07:57.

poached in the latest of the CEOs appointed to try to reverse the

:07:57.:08:02.

company's ailing fortunes. And Google's latest maps excursion has

:08:02.:08:06.

taken into the Antarctic. Images of the huts used by Sir Ernest

:08:06.:08:11.

Shackleton and Robin falcons got have been posted online. The cabins

:08:11.:08:15.

were built last century and used as bases for their attempts to reach

:08:15.:08:22.

the south pole. Every city wants one, but few can

:08:22.:08:27.

manage it. A thriving start up seen in a sparkling new technology hub.

:08:27.:08:33.

But as we saw in London last week the conditions for a dynamic start

:08:33.:08:37.

obscene are difficult and expensive to create. Unless, that is, you are

:08:37.:08:43.

Berlin. We sent our correspondent to the Pervin capital to witness

:08:43.:08:48.

the accidental birth of the start- up. Vacant, large industrial space

:08:48.:08:56.

in Berlin. It is a cool CD. easiest way to put it, it is a

:08:56.:09:01.

start up itself. Spacious interiors with views of the former Berlin

:09:01.:09:07.

Wall. People I meet described Berlin as New York City in the

:09:07.:09:12.

1980s. The potential for the Berlin is huge. Ideal to house the

:09:13.:09:18.

burgeoning start-up sector. Somewhere more affordable, but more

:09:18.:09:23.

in Bodmin, great atmosphere and great energy, and young talent.

:09:23.:09:28.

People willing to do interesting things. In Europe, that is Berlin.

:09:28.:09:33.

This is what happens when this much optimism and enthusiasm is turned

:09:33.:09:37.

into square metres. The factory is planned to be Berlin's start-up

:09:37.:09:42.

Central, housing the city's technology hub. We are hoping to

:09:42.:09:46.

bring together companies in different stages. Even though

:09:46.:09:51.

working remotely has become common and fashionable, I still think that

:09:51.:09:55.

working together in one place and having attacked during lunch over

:09:56.:10:03.

the latest development really helps developing products. So is the

:10:03.:10:07.

optimism justified? Berlin already has a number of success stories,

:10:07.:10:11.

including the audio sharing site sound cloud, which aims to move

:10:11.:10:17.

into the factory itself. It has cheap real estate, thriving

:10:18.:10:25.

alternative scene, great for people who want to start something new.

:10:25.:10:29.

Berlin is the place to be. It connects and marries the arts with

:10:29.:10:32.

technology. In terms of sound creation it has become so much

:10:32.:10:40.

easier for people to do. Bans and people recording, doing pop cast,

:10:40.:10:43.

technology has enabled them to remove the barriers are starting to

:10:44.:10:47.

create something. The notional starting something and really

:10:47.:10:51.

quickly getting ratification for what you do by sharing it,

:10:51.:10:55.

receiving feedback, is very much a replica of what you find in Berlin

:10:55.:11:01.

as a city. Sheringham getting feedback is why many technology

:11:02.:11:07.

wannabes come here, to meet and work. What is nigh as about the

:11:07.:11:13.

start-up seen here is that he's had taken root. -- what is nice. Others

:11:13.:11:21.

are starting. They do house is a place where they come to share

:11:21.:11:28.

ideas. The coffee is not too bad either. It started in early 2009,

:11:28.:11:35.

providing her working office space. Now there he in Cologne, and soon

:11:35.:11:40.

Sophie and Barcelona. We are focusing a lot on start-ups, trying

:11:40.:11:46.

to connect them with the right developer and investor, the right

:11:46.:11:51.

coach and mentor. It is not hard to get in touch with the big guys will

:11:51.:11:58.

stop you meet them at the bar, and at least for me, it is very open.

:11:58.:12:03.

Which is why everyone has their SPL at the ready. You never know when

:12:03.:12:07.

you might get a chance to make a pitch. Like Justine, with a new

:12:07.:12:13.

style of online recruitment. helps people and companies find

:12:13.:12:19.

cultural fit. We are an early stage start-up trying to solve the

:12:19.:12:22.

problem of finding work you enjoy. It is not just about a pay cheque.

:12:22.:12:25.

It is about feeling like you can make a contribution and do

:12:25.:12:35.

This looks like how people work. Listening to Justin, himself from

:12:35.:12:40.

Australia, and his talk of cultural fits, it is obvious Berlin has

:12:40.:12:48.

become a cultural fit for many. It is the most international of cities.

:12:48.:12:55.

Just take a look at the team from another Berlin start-up, Readmill.

:12:55.:12:59.

We are eight people in our team right now and we have five

:12:59.:13:03.

different, this would have never been possible to create in

:13:03.:13:10.

Stockholm, where I am from. Readmill is all about unravelling

:13:10.:13:16.

what is between the covers of books. It means sharing highlights from

:13:16.:13:20.

passages from books you are reading with friends. When you find a

:13:20.:13:26.

passage that you really like, you highlight it very simply, you can

:13:26.:13:32.

add a comment to that, and you click OK and you're done. Berlin

:13:32.:13:36.

sounds like start-up heaven, but does its investment climate measure

:13:36.:13:43.

up? UPcload has devised a system that they believe will increase

:13:43.:13:48.

online clothes sales by accurately measuring body shapes. They got

:13:48.:13:56.

their initial funding from the German state. We are having fun,

:13:56.:14:04.

but everyone is looking for a return investment. Once the

:14:04.:14:08.

economics has proven itself, the investment will start coming.

:14:08.:14:12.

the moment it is budding, it is not quite where it should be, but in

:14:12.:14:18.

another year people from the valley are curious, so my job in a PR

:14:18.:14:21.

position is to attract these investors, get them curious and

:14:21.:14:26.

bring them over and get them acquainted with the right start ups.

:14:26.:14:31.

It has been said that Berlin is a city of frustrated possibilities.

:14:31.:14:36.

But with its vibrant start up seen, perhaps now there's good reason for

:14:36.:14:43.

optimism, perhaps maybe even 10,000 square metres worth.

:14:43.:14:48.

David Reid surveying the vibrant start-up seen in Berlin. We asked

:14:48.:14:52.

the question last week, is innovation in Europe any match for

:14:52.:14:57.

Silicon Valley? Or Asia? It is also a question Richard Taylor put

:14:57.:15:02.

recently to Europe's top policy- maker on all things technology,

:15:02.:15:06.

Commissioner nearly Kroes. When I think of innovation I think of

:15:06.:15:11.

Silicon Valley, Asia, Japan, Korea, China. I don't think of Europe.

:15:11.:15:15.

Well then I have to blame you. There's a lot of research and

:15:15.:15:20.

innovation here. There's excellent opportunities, but also examples in

:15:20.:15:27.

which we can prove that we are doing quite well. We are too modest.

:15:27.:15:30.

That's number one. We are not combining all those efforts. We

:15:30.:15:35.

should talk about the digital single market without boundaries

:15:35.:15:40.

and barriers, and there is quite a bit to do. Having said that, and I

:15:41.:15:45.

am sometimes talking with those big guys from the West, but also from

:15:45.:15:50.

Asia, from the People's Republic of China, and so on, and I'm asking

:15:50.:15:55.

that question. Are we are less intelligent? Are we less research

:15:55.:16:02.

orientated? Are we less in the mood for inventions? That's not true! It

:16:02.:16:06.

is absolutely fascinating what is at stake. But number one, you

:16:06.:16:13.

should make it more visible for everyone that is fascinating. Of

:16:13.:16:17.

course when we are talking about Silicon Valley, we should say that

:16:17.:16:22.

we should not want to copy Silicon Valley. We have our own identity,

:16:22.:16:25.

and it is a fascinating identity with fascinating research efforts

:16:25.:16:32.

and so on and so fourth. Then we should make a silicon Continent.

:16:32.:16:39.

But with our own stamp on it. what is Europe's strength?

:16:39.:16:44.

Nanoelectronics. Micro electronics. There are a lot of issues, very

:16:45.:16:49.

impressive in the health, we can prove that we are the leader in

:16:49.:16:54.

this. -- e-health. We should combine our efforts. It is not

:16:54.:16:59.

talking about 27 efforts in the European digital market, it is a

:16:59.:17:07.

combined effort. In my portfolio I have quite a bit of money for

:17:07.:17:15.

research and innovation connected with ICT and with those fields. So

:17:15.:17:20.

we should do far more than we are doing already. But at the end of

:17:20.:17:23.

the day, and that is also very important, if we're talking about

:17:23.:17:28.

the future economy, growth of the economy, creating jobs, it is not

:17:28.:17:33.

the government or a commission that is creating jobs, or is pushing the

:17:33.:17:39.

economy, it is the business world, it is the start-ups, it is SMEs,

:17:40.:17:44.

they are very important, and we should take the initiative more

:17:44.:17:53.

than we are doing at the moment to give them more they pushed.

:17:53.:18:00.

-- a push. You can see more of that interview at a website.

:18:00.:18:04.

Next week we are heading Stateside to look at how another way of

:18:04.:18:08.

funding start-ups is making its way across the waters to Europe.

:18:08.:18:12.

Earlier in the programme we looked at how big companies are taking

:18:12.:18:15.

advantage of the Web during the Olympics, now it's time to see how

:18:15.:18:20.

you can as well. Whether you're planning a trip to London or you

:18:20.:18:24.

want to follow the events from your armchair, there's an app or a

:18:24.:18:31.

website for that. Kate Rosol investigates in Webscape.

:18:31.:18:34.

The Olympic Games are also upon us and whether you're planning a trip

:18:34.:18:38.

to London or just want to follow the event from your armchair,

:18:38.:18:48.
:18:48.:18:52.

It's more than a sporting event, it's a huge piece of history. You

:18:52.:18:56.

can brush up on your Olympic pop quiz knowledge at the National

:18:56.:19:01.

Archives online Olympics collection where they have made available

:19:01.:19:06.

hundreds of historic documents and images relating to the Games.

:19:06.:19:09.

Some of the documents are free to download, the others you will have

:19:09.:19:13.

to pay for if you want to keep. But if you want to sit at your desk and

:19:13.:19:17.

rifle through Olympic history you are free to explore the archives

:19:17.:19:22.

online. The timeline section has a nice walk through from the start of

:19:22.:19:25.

the Olympics to present day, giving background information on each

:19:25.:19:29.

event and highlighting key documents in the collection. With

:19:29.:19:33.

links to other national archive collections that at context to the

:19:33.:19:37.

global picture, I think this is a great sight for amateur historians

:19:37.:19:47.
:19:47.:19:50.

to get completely lost inside the With so many people visiting the

:19:51.:19:55.

city, getting around could prove a challenge. Even if you live in

:19:55.:20:01.

London! Get ahead of the games .com -- getaheadofthegames.com. This

:20:01.:20:08.

offers news and advice. Including travel ticket advice and a

:20:09.:20:12.

Spectator's travel planner so you don't miss a moment of the action.

:20:12.:20:16.

1 billion people use the London Underground each year and that is

:20:16.:20:20.

even without the Olympic Games adding to the madness. Google Maps

:20:20.:20:25.

now give you real-time alerts using official data streams, but in the

:20:25.:20:33.

end you might find the best idea is to just get on your bike.

:20:33.:20:37.

Boris bikes as they are known after the colourful mayor who was in

:20:37.:20:42.

office to launch the scheme, can be hired by the hour, picked up and

:20:42.:20:47.

dropped off across the capital. If you decide to go green, while blue

:20:47.:20:55.

actually, you can find these apps most helpful. For iPhone, London

:20:55.:20:59.

Cycle, and Android, Cycle Hire Widget Lite. Both use official live

:20:59.:21:04.

data to reveal the closest available cycle, and have maps and

:21:04.:21:09.

cycle safety guides to help you along your way. Talking of getting

:21:09.:21:14.

around, a good location app can save a lot of stress. Visit

:21:14.:21:17.

Stratford is free on iPhone and Android and will tell you

:21:17.:21:20.

everything you need to know when visiting the Olympic Village area.

:21:20.:21:25.

It is constantly updated with images, news, restaurant reviews,

:21:25.:21:30.

events, live travel information, maps, shopping, audio tour guides,

:21:30.:21:34.

the list goes on and on. It is pretty much a must have if you're

:21:34.:21:38.

heading into Stratford. Not everyone can make it to London for

:21:38.:21:41.

the Games but don't worry, there are loads of other ways you can

:21:41.:21:46.

keep up with the action. Smartphone apps will be there of every flavour

:21:46.:21:50.

looking around, alive results, highlights, behind the scenes

:21:50.:21:55.

footage and more. The BBC has its own free app for Android and iPhone

:21:55.:22:00.

broadcasting video, in-depth data and social features. International

:22:00.:22:05.

features needn't feel left out as BBC Worldwide has launched a free

:22:05.:22:09.

and unpicks smartphone app. There's no streaming video but you get text

:22:09.:22:14.
