Friday is the start of the Vancouver Olympics and will be the first time that the opening ceremony will be held indoors. According to Reuters, organizers have been finding it hard to stop people from giving away information about the opening of the event, one where more than 3 billion people will watch.

The 2010 Winter Olympics is a big deal; even Google has got in on the action with a Doodle on their homepage, which we wrote about this morning. It seems that keeping a lid on big opening events like this is getting harder each year, more so now with Facebook and Twitter, which people have direct access to from their iPhones and BlackBerry devices.

According to The Telegraph, the drawing is of the opening ceremony, with the “L” in Google being a flame instead. To the left of the logo are the five famous rings that symbolize the Olympic Games. The search engine giant did the same for the 2008 summer Beijing Olympics, that doodle had five mascots who were holding an Olympic flag.

There is no better way to spread the message of a huge event than to have Google do a doodle of it, millions of people will see it each day. This is great for those who did not know that the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was about to take place, well they could have been sleeping for a few weeks and just woke up.
