A QUICKISH SUPER BOWL

Some are saying today's Super Bowl maybe the first true "Twitter" Super Bowl, as social media has become as important to watching sports as beer and nachos.

It's not enough to watch the game -- you have to have a conversation with everyone you know (and some you don't) to truly experience it.

That's where Quickish comes in. The new website, which launched in January, attempts to created a curated social media feed of all the noteworthy tweets, links, and commentary for the big sports stories of the moment. And there's none bigger at this moment than Super Bowl XLV. BI

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
