>TURING GAME USED TO UNMASK CHAT ROOM IMPOSTORS
>Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are using the principles
>of the Imitation Game, invented by British mathematician Alan Turing, to
>create an online game that challenges players to identify phony chat room
>participants by analyzing the content and style of their e-mail postings.
>The Turing Game, as it's called, provides insight into the cultural markers
>that define a person's online identity, say game creators Joshua Berman and
>Amy Bruckman. "Some would say that when we go online we become pure
>intellect, and we bring nothing with us. Others would say that's naïve --
>we're the same people online as offline," says Bruckman. (Wired.com 15 Sep
