This morning, I tripped across Quickish, a site which claims to take the most important sports news and publish it in real time. The creators of the site have developed a way to find all the most important Tweets and publish them quick(ish) on their site.
Since the Super Bowl is later today, I'm going to check it out periodically to see if its worth reading during sports events. Much like we mentioned in class, sometimes we like to see what others are saying about the shows we watch. This could potentially help that by giving us the best ideas. Or, it might not be as fine-tuned and only get some obvious news (ex. The Packers Win).
Some questions I'm interested in: Would this idea work with other topics than sports? Is it possible to then to possibly create one huge site with this algorithm to take all the best Tweets and bring them to one site?

This is interesting, and I don't see why it couldn't be repeated with other topics. I don't think you'd want them on one site, though. It would have to be like Twitter where you follow just the things you care most about.
