}}Are You Watching This?! (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]

Overview

RUWT?! 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]
