Sock and Awe Scorecard
That’s a lot of therapy for a lot of people.
Sock & Awe National Scoreboard
Sock and Awe also keeps a tally on hits by nationality. Here’s the great news for Australia! We’re in third place. That’s a strong showing. We Australians are flinging above our weight.
As expected, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are doing well. France is in second place.
Which country is on target for Gold?

UPDATE: The day brings a flurry of new shoe-throwing games and related web paraphernalia. A page on the Wired blog is trying to keep track.
