Team MIT wins DARPA Network Challenge and one of the balloons was right under my nose

My rat like nose seemed to tell me that I could be a lab rat in the DARPA Network Challenge and sure enough one of the ten balloons was right here in Santa Barbara. But darn it I missed it! For some reason I think there is some 'Who Move My Cheese' related lesson in this for me.....

It will be interesting to read about how the winner, MIT, and the other teams approached their solutions. And what DARPA learns about social networking and how it might be part of their future plans.
