Hammm… Nice post… Interesting.....

Guess that everyone of us resorts to the help of crowdsourced sites every single day. I get info for most of my studies at Wiki, my sis does her research on American slang with the help of Urban Dictionary... Man, even my grandpa gets his pills and all the info about them at this crowdsourced pharma directory. What I'm interested in is: is there someone who actually edits all the submissions to such sources? There's a huge amount of incoming info - and I really doubt that the same Wikipedia has enough competent editors to keep track of it (not mentioning other sources). So is there any way for us to filter all this information?

Other than being able to rub elbows with Professional Journalists (PJs), what benefits can Citizen Journalists (CJs) expect to reap from this exercise? Since CJs already have a proven ability to offset MSM and old time news organizations, what will they receive for adding their expertise to this program? How will PJs benefit? buy cialis online

I think an important category is education. I have taken the principles of crowdsourcing and peer production and writing my thesis on the peer production of open educational resources (crowdsourcing the educational value of people worldwide). This step is a small one, because there is a larger impact possible. The one where anyone can be a teacher, anyone a learner, anyone a worker, alle connected around their specific domains.

I am fascinated by the topic of the private universes inside people's heads, and everything else. Another way of saying this is that people everywhere -- everyone, every single person on earth -- is struggling with huge issues in their lives that no one else knows about, except maybe their closest friends and family, if they have that.

I had an epiphany of sorts when I read an article by one of the editors at either the UK Guardian or the Independent. I wish I could remember which one, but I can't. He had just written a book about some really huge medical problem he was diagnosed with. His piece was an essay on how having this problem changed everything in his life. Not just in the obvious ways, but it changed the entire way he viewed other people and the way they related to him. All of a sudden, total strangers -- people who read his book -- wrote to him telling him about their own personal struggles. And I'm talking huge, huge personal struggles: cancer, overwhelming grief and loss, etc., etc. The fact that he was dealing with the same thing gave them some sort of psychological permission to share with him these incredibly personal stories. And what he realized is that people all around him, everywhere, had this part of their lives that was completely hidden from the daily world we all inhabit. Like a separate, private universe. How do we bridge that gap? It's like a vast, totally real, part of human life that human beings cannot address in societal ways, because nobody knows. I mean, how could I have guessed -- except for the fact that one day she told me -- that my neighbor across the street I used to live on before I got divorced had a brother who killed himself years ago, and she was the one who discovered him, hanging in a closet? Another woman I never met but got friendly with via a chatroom had a daughter who got involved with drugs and the wrong crowd, and ended up killing herself, and the entire small town she lived in turned against her.

And of course I have my own stories to tell, but I won't, because I don't want this to be about me. What truly grips my imagination is thinking about ways that we could come to know these things about each other and help. Call it "crowdsourced community." Because here's the thing: How can we help each other if we don't even know what we're all going through?

You can tell me this is totally impractical and off-base, if you think it is. I won't take it personally at all. I know it's something no one ever brings up, but as I've been thinking about the concept of open-source journalism, it occurs to me to wonder if there are ways we can address this issue.

I'd love to interview industry experts about how mobile applications are taking social media to a whole new level. For example:

News Summary: GotZapp (www.gotzapp.com), a new mobile social networking platform, now lets users easily copy profile pages from MySpace, Facebook and other popular social networking sites and send these profiles, in a single multimedia data transmission, to web-enabled mobile phones for free.

I have been following assignmeng zero project since day one (not so long ago, lol) and I think it's a fantastic and brilliant concept!
Have been wanting to contribute for some time and I knew there was an assignment on crowdsourcing web2.0 projects.

I have just launched (today) a project called ourTVad.com and I think it has everything to do with the topic on discussion here.

Imagine breaking apart a video into the smallest parts possible: frames. Now put each frame to sale for a very low price and a couple of minutes video becomes a half million dollars virtual property asset. Where have we seen this before? The Million Dollar Homepage was selling the smallest possible pieces of space: pixels. This project, called Our TV Ad is selling the smallest possible pieces of time: frames.

Using the power of a crowd of frame buyers the project aims to raise enough money to broadcast the video on television and still help a start-up charity project.
For $39, the price of one frame, everyone can have their 15 minutes of fame. Well, it’s not really 15 minutes, but only 1/25 of a second. But still, YOU can be on TV.

Of course the risk no one will notice it when buying only one frame is substantial, since video will be made of thousands of different frames rapidly flickering. However, one frame can still make a difference when putting imagination to work…

Best Regards,

JAugusto

Also, about other mass ratings and reviews via the Internet, how valid are they? What is the potential and actuality for B.S., by the entity under review, a rival, or anyone?

What are the demographics of the people involved? How do they compare with the larger society or interest area? What difference does it make?

I'm a sports guy. I'll leave it plain and simple like that.

Ever since I was introduced to Assignment Zero and took a look around this site, I've been trying to figure out a way to tie this to sports. Even in today's age, crowdsourcing a sports more or less do not go together. Oh, there are sports blogs galore, but there is nothing really sports-specific. Obviously the actual sports themselves are one of the few rigid hierarchies left. Other than fan pressure to keep or trade certain players, all decisions and outcomes are based on experts and professionals. However, today I came upon two sites that combine the community and sport.

It is very common in sports, especially the statistically friendly baseball, to attempt to use statistical regression analysis to attempt to predict future performance. There are quite a few systems out there, however they all have the limitations of being dependent on computer analysis or perhaps involving a limited number tweaks by humans.

However, a new site tangotiger was brought to my attention that relies on the community of fans to input their own projections and estimates into a database, which will then calculate an average community-generated projection. Since this is such a new system, it does feature a serious flaw in its inherent bias to over optimistically generate projections. Except for a few power users who might project near all players, most users will only project a few of their favorite players or those on their favorite team thus entering in those overly optimistic projections coming from their fan-point of view, With each year the algorithm used to average the projections could be tweaked to account for this bias. So this idea sure does hold promise.

Another community-based sports site, ProTrade is a veteran on the internet. The idea behind the site is to run a stock market based player trading system. You get to buy and sell players based on their apparent value. This is a great system to get a view as to the performance and value of a player at any given time. Similar setups have been used to indicate the popularity of politicians and of course the values of stocks (with REAL money!).

Now I am left to wonder as to what other applications crowdsourcing can take in the realm of sports. Will we ever see a failing franchise sign and trade players based on fan polls? Could we ever see a team run their game plan based on fan polling? Notre Dame's football head coach Charlie Weis did run one fan picked play two seasons ago for success (the fan was ill in the hospital). These are of course extreme ideas. Perhaps more moderate crowdsourcing can eventually occur. Many sports broadcasts will feature special fantasy relevant information for those fantasy-obsessed fans of us. Can this be taken to another level? Will the reporting of sports be further crowdsourced? What does the future hold?

I work on Project Red Stripe for The Economist Group. We're an internet innovation unit of their's. We put up a brief, set up a form, sent out emails, adverts, contacted bloggers and even got slashdotted. In two weeks we got over 300 ideas. Would you like me to write this up in anyway?

Here are the subjects I could cover :

Writing a brief for receiving ideas : what tone do you set, how do you get really innovative ideas and other topics.

IP : how IP law impacted our goal.

Rewards : in the case of The Economist many readers just want to suggest new ideas for fun things but we also got stick for not having a big enough reward on offer.

Analysis : how many ideas can you handle? With both Dell Idea Storm and our project we looked at how best to process these ideas.

Quality of ideas : we got a lot of ideas from Slashdot, but a fair few were one liners. Where will you get the best response?

Results : what actually happened.

Please tell me how I can take this forward.

Topics -
(apologies if these are already in the list, or already suggested in this thread's comments. If the topics list - or this thread's comments - were all on 1 page I would not be too lazy to dig through them, to check. )
(And lo, they are all on 1 page! thank you.)

• Future crowdsourcing possibilities
  It'd be nice to have a section for brainstorming/enumerating ideas as to what further as-yet-untried (to our knowledge) possibilities might be out there.
• What institutions/structures/practices might help crowdsourcing to thrive?
• Dimensions of crowdsource projects - categorizing the projects by spontaneous vs planned, transparent vs obscure, etc
• Metrics of success of crowdsource projects - level of participation, eyeballs, consequences of the project, etc. (Is a project less successful if it gets scooped?)
• ?

And maybe come up with brief set of questions to ask everyone we interview, about crowdsourcing, ala edge.org (but with more than 1 Q). It'd be interesting to see different crowdsourcers' responses to the same questions.
e.g. "what hard-earned advice would you give to anyone spearheading a crowdsourced project", or "what kind of support would have made your project development easier"
etc.

See:

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/wisdom-of-orkut.html

Quote from the official Google Blog:

"Wish you could use the wisdom of crowds to help make decisions and get all your questions answered? Well, starting today you can post polls and discover the wisdom of orkut!

Now all you orkut users can create and post polls in any community that you are a member of. Just click a button in your favorite community, type in your question, and add pictures (if you like), and voila!—community members can
vote and leave comments on your question of choice.

Having trouble deciding where to go to spend your holiday weekend, who to vote for in the next election, or how to solve a tough brain teaser? Login to orkut and see what your orkut friends think! You might not see this right away in your favorite communities, but the feature will be rolling out to everyone soon. "

Clearly relying on the concept of "popularity" within the user base to determine answers to questions. I wouldn't rely on it for factuality, but I suppose there's some benefit to group preference.

How about organizing volunteer teams to read new laws, for a start. Try to nail down who how when provisions were inserted. Later, maybe get to regulations, rulings, committee hearings, etc,

I'd be willing to participate. Job could be divided according to Cabinet Dept lines, interest area (fuel independence, postage and fulfillment issues, etc) or Congressional Committee, for instance.

A look at how crowdsourcing and geography affect (effect?) each other might be interesting. I'm looking at crowdsourced film and I'm wondering how the shooting phase of a production could be farmed to the global web.

I'd like to see accounts (with results and lessons learned) from past crowdsourced citizen journalism endeavors.
I'd love to take this on.
However, I've also been a participant in several of them. So what happens? presumably I can't be my own source.
(haven't been a participant in all of them though, so perhaps I report on one that I wasn't involved in?)

(fyi, I 've put up a skeletal and incomplete list of past projects at journalism.wikia.com)

http://www.taxpayeraccess.org

People and institutions are finding ways to make publicly funded research more accessible.

I think this guy really needs to be interviewed; in the course of other stuff I have been researching, I ran across this column criticizing Wikipedia-style crowdsourcing:

The proverbial bottom line is that the theoretical underpinning of Wikipedia, the fashionable notion of "crowdsourcing," or "the wisdom of crowds," is nonsense. There is no wisdom in crowds. The crowd drinks Coke. The crowd elects George Bush or -- God forbid -- John Kerry. The crowd accepts authority unquestioningly, especially when it's dressed up as a "cool" new information source.

He's not talking about exactly what we're doing, as we've got professional editors and fact-checkers afoot. But some great quotes may be gotten from an interview here. I would have filed this directly to a thread, but it's really meta-criticism that cuts across the whole of what we're doing.

He's got a Wikipedia axe to grind: On January 23, an anonymous user on Shaw Cable, an internet and cable provider in Canada, modified Beam's entry to indicate that Beam himself was anti-Canadian. That got him some unwelcome attention, and once he had a peg on which to hang it, the anti-Wikipedia column came out with the quote above.

Did he mean to drag the whole of crowdsourcing into his quote? I think he did. Only an interview can confirm it.

http://Metafilter.com opened with the idea of user-driven content, a community blog that, by and large,policed itself. http://Ask.Metafilter.com works under similar principles: Post a question and the community will, hopefully, come up with an answer. And more often than not, they do. Still, amid a handful of cumbersome acronyms (IANAD, YMMV, IANAL) lies an implicit lack of accountability and a faith that they're looking out for your best interest. How often is AskMefi right? How often is it wrong? And how do you handle questions with potentially serious consequences? It's easy enough to recommend a brand of speaker or even to find a long lost relative (Well, it's either Aunt Jane or it's not), but medical advice? Voting yay or nay on a stranger's choice of birth control? Is the collective wisdom of a small community worth pursuing?

Hello

Anybody knows about crowdsourced music? This is missing in the assignment desk!
I‘m a musician, anxious to write about it. So I ask for sugestions.

Another thing:

who wants to build a crowdsourced sound fx bank?

Are there other musicians/producers/engineers on board?

Thanks everybody

France's parliament banned the filming and/or broadcast of any violent activity by any one other than a professional journalist:

According to http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/03/06/HNfrancecitizenjournalists_1.h...

"During parliamentary debate of the law, government representatives said the offense of filming or distributing films of acts of violence targets the practice of "happy slapping," in which a violent attack is filmed by an accomplice, typically with a camera phone, for the amusement of the attacker's friends. "

Some are saying that the ban is only intended to clamp down on filming and broadcasting for the purpose of "fun" (because of the "happy slapping" incidents in France) and "includes an exemption for filming for proof that something is happening or in the course of trying to inform."

Nonetheless, this could be interesting to look into. How is video-blogging and the contributions of citizen photographers possibly being limited? What are some unintended consequences of the broad definitions of the law? Could citizen internet journalists be criminalized under the auspices of this French law?

Not necessarily a story that best lends itself to crowd-sourcing research, but one that sheds light on the future of the crowd-sourcing movement globally...

why so many women just say ok!!??

I looked at the list of topics to be covered, and one think that seems to be lacking is any examination of the historical precedents for crowdsourcing to be found on the net. From the earliest days of the internet -- even before there was a World Wide Web (let alone a blogosphere) "crowdsourcing" has been an integral part of the net through email lists (and programs like listserv) and UseNet newsgroups/bulletin boards. As the web evolved, publication based discussion groups served much the same purpose -- one example is "Tabletalk" community at Salon.com's collective research on the 2000 elections.

(I did see one person mention non-internet crowdsourcing.... Ralph Nader's PIRGs (Public Interest Research Groups) would be one avenue to explore on that subject...)

There's a great, international organization called Librivox.org that uses volunteers to record free audiobooks of works in the public domain. They now have hundreds of free audiobooks of novels, poems, speeches, non-fiction etc. up for download -- and everything is produced and recorded volunteers. The goal is to use crowdsourcing to record all of the works in the public domain. This is a great example and should be considered for Assignment Zero. I wrote about the project for the New York Times and Montreal Gazette and would be happy to upload the transcripts of my interviews, along with other reporting. You can read the articles I wrote here:
