The broadcasting of last Sunday's episode of "30 minuts" titled "I tu quin diari compres?" (and which newspaper do you buy?), was a success. And not only with regard to the audience levels (with 506,000 viewers), but also regarding the people that followed it on the network, to the point that the program became an example and reference of how Internet and the television can unite in a joint experience which feedbacks and enrich both means: the so called television 2.0.

The "Escacc" (Catalan area of Culture and Communication) encouraged cybernouts to publish "tweets" (short messages with 140 characters) with their opinions on the report. The only condition to be able to participate and follow the debate was to include on the message the "hashtag" #30premsa (http://twitter.com/#search?q=%2330premsa). Furthermore, there was also other spontaneous comments without hashtag or either using the #30minuts.

Those of you who usually follow the football on TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio already know them. On one had, Bernat Soler, the person in charge of the broadcastings on Televisió de Catalunya. On the other, Ricard Torquemada, analyzer of "La transmissió d'en Puyal" (Puyal's broadcasting) and one of the most lucid voices on this sport in Catalunya.

During the past seasons, they both held some lively football debates on the programme "Els millors anys de la nostra vida" (the best years of our life), also on Catalunya Ràdio, presented by Bernat Soler. Now, Elsesports.cat has wanted to reunite them so they can recover this healthy habit of disagreeing with all the possible respect: we have opened a blog where they publish their confronted opinions over a specific matter.

The name of the programme is already a statement of intent: "U contra u" (one against one). And they open fire with a highly topical subject at "Can Barça": who deserves the most a place in Barça's first team, Henry or Pedro? For Soler, the Frenchmen should be the player. For Torquemada, it is the time for the young man from the Canary Islands. And, what do you think?

Do you like "El gran dictat", the words contest of TV3? Well now you can play it on Internet whenever you wantthanks to the game we have just started . The application, which you will find on the programme's web site, reproduces the mechanisms of the television contest.

The philosophy is the same as that on the "telly": you have to guess how the words set out by the presenter are written. That is why the skill of getting the right answer is as important as the time you take to discover the right word. The game starts on a simple level, with five words considered as easy, and gets more complicated as it goes on. In all, a total of fifteen enigmas have to be solved.

With our game, you can share your score on Twitter and Facebook. When you finish participating, you will see what position you are in on the general classification. And pay attention, because if you are the best participant of the moth you will win a Sony mp3 player, directly, without any draws.
