(RUWT?![1]) is an Austin, Texas-based Sports Excitement Analytics company that uses algorithms to identify sporting events that viewers would find exciting or compelling. It was founded by Mark Phillip, an African-American MIT Computer Science Major.[2] OverviewRUWT?! was founded in 2006,[3] launched publicly in 2007,[4] and was bootstrapped[5] by Phillip, its sole employee.[6] The service uses algorithms to analyze live game data to determine if games are exciting,[5] identifying events like rivalries[6] or upsets.[9] The opinions of the service's 25,000 "Super Fans" add a subjective influence to the overall excitement rating of each game.[7] The ratings for each game range from zero to infinity, bucketed into OK, GOOD, HOT, and EPIC ranges.[8] When a game hits an excitement "crescendo", the website sends email and text alerts to subscribers.[9] Their sole competitor is Thuuz.[6] Despite having a consumer-facing website, the company focuses on licensing excitement data via its API to larger companies.[10][11] Comcast is one such customer, and the company's data is used by millions of Xfinity X1 subscribers.[5] The API also includes DVR Extender, Natural Language, and Video Highlight functionality.[12] Other customers include Bleacher Report, CBS Sports, Telstra Communications, and Turner Sports.[13] A patent for a [https://patents.google.com/patent/US9421446B2 Rating system for identifying exciting sporting events and notifying users] was filed by RUWT?! in 2007 and was granted on August 23, 2016.[14] The patent expires on July 17, 2033.[14] As of July 2017, Are You Watching This?! was in patent licensing discussions with Thuuz.[15] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/242338/10_twitter_bot_services_to_simplify_your_life.html | title=10 Twitter Bot Services to Simplify Your Life | publisher=PCWorld | date=October 23, 2011 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Daw, David}} 2. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/markphillip/ | title=Mark Phillip LinkedIn | accessdate=March 3, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.technologyreview.com/s/422543/catching-classic-sports-moments-as-theyre-happening/ | title=Catching Classic Sports Moments as They're Happening | publisher=MIT Technology Review | date=January 28, 2011 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Naone, Erica}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=https://techcrunch.com/2007/02/05/sports-tvguide-digg-ruwt/ | title=Sports + TVGuide + Digg = RUWT? | publisher=TechCrunch | date=February 5, 2007 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Porges, Seth}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.technologyreview.com/s/418021/startups-focus-on-ai-at-south-by-southwest/ | title=Startups Focus on AI at South by Southwest | publisher=MIT Technology Review | date=March 15, 2010 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Naone, Erica}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.espn.com/espn/thelife/news/story?id=5399576 | title=Service sniffs out timely must-see TV | publisher=ESPN | date=July 22, 2010 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Corazza, Ryan}} 7. ^{{cite web | url=http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/march-madness-10-top-apps-ncaa-matchups/story?id=13150530 | title=March Madness: 10 Top Apps for Following the Matchups | publisher=ABC News | date=March 17, 2011 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Heussner, Ki Mae}} 8. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.chatsports.com/sports-tech/a/Are-You-Watching-This-Helps-Users-Never-Miss-a-Moment-of-Exciting-Sports-Action-19828 | title=Are You Watching This Helps Users Never Miss a Moment of Exciting Sports Action | publisher=Chat Sports | date=March 12, 2013 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Sklarin, Jeff}} 9. ^{{cite web | url=http://austininno.streetwise.co/2016/07/19/diversity-in-tech-black-and-hispanic-entrepreneurs-in-austin/ | title=Tech Inclusion: Diverse Entrepreneurs to Watch in Austin | publisher=Austin Inno | date=March 18, 2011 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Wistrom, Brent}} 10. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/are-you-watching-ruwt-a-sports-focused-app-that-hopes-to-integrate-with-big-names-for-better-content-consumption/ | title=Are you watching RUWT?!: The sports app that wants to power better content consumption | publisher=Digital Trends | date=March 15, 2012 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=McHugh, Molly}} 11. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=https://gigaom.com/2012/03/01/how-one-sports-geek-wants-to-save-cable-tv-with-data/ | title=How one sports geek wants to save cable TV with data | publisher=Gigaom | date=March 1, 2012 | accessdate=March 3, 2017 | author=Harris, Derrick}} 12. ^{{cite web | url=https://areyouwatchingthis.com/services/ | title=Are You Watching This?!
