Wimbledon hits the Net: IBM Seer and Twitter tennis

Wimbledon on the iPhone

If you're more black turtleneck than white polo shirt, grab yourself an iPhone app (iTunes link) that aggregates live scores, news, draws and on-demand video highlights.

Wimbledon on other phones

If you can't net yourself an app, point your phone's browser at m.wimbledon.org. 'Net yourself'! That one wasn't even deliberate.

Wimbledon on Twitter

If you like to get your news from Twitter, the Seer Aggregator is a downloadable app that pulls in real-time tweets from various sources. Players and news-report tweets are offered alongside the twitterings of IBM scouts, dedicated tweeters positioned around the ground, with a hashtag showing their location. The beauty of this is that you get real-time advice such as the length of queues, whether there are free seats and the excitement levels of matches. To see more, check out twitter.com/wimbledon.

Wimbledon on the Web

Behind-the-scenes videos and live games can be watched at Wimbledon.org. On-court action isn't available to users in several countries, including the US, yet the £6 day and £18 tournament passes are displayed in US dollars. You can not be serious!

With all these multimedia options, remember to take your eyes off your phone at least occasionally. How will you be following proceedings at Wimbledon? Let us know in the comments.
