Making the Web Jeter free

Jeter Filter does just what it says on the box, at least for Chrome users: It either warns you when a page you're on has a mention of the Yankees shortstop or just deletes all references to him. Bonus:

Jeter Filter anonymously reports each webpage found to contain Derek Jeter to the awesome open metadata service FluidInfo. This means the more you use the Jeter Filter, the easier you make it for other developers worldwide to filter Jeter from their apps.

It was developed by a guy from Brooklyn, no less:

Jeter Filter was conceived in the wee hours of the hackNY Spring Hackathon and eventually coded over a series of Red Sox games in June 2011. The Red Sox winning percentage at the beginning of the project was .439 and was .611 at time of 1.0 release. Sam Adams was primarily consumed during initial coding, followed by Templeton Rye during skinning and/or during Red Sox losses.

What a second-place idea.
