Dan Gilbert, the chairman and founder of Quicken Loans, is hoping that if he declares Woodward Avenue, Detroit's main drag, to be a new, tech-centered "WEBward Avenue" often enough, it just might come true.

Gilbert announced yesterday that Quicken's sister company, Quizzle, will join Quicken when it moves into the Compuware building in Detroit later this month.
