Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Retries: talk about how that’s a waste of money
  2. Pie analogy; don’t bring the same customer 2 pies and ask if it’s the right pie…
  3. Largely a focus on credential.Crowdflower , zooniverseDon’t forget to talk about how this mimicks the real world
  4. Talk about how peer review leads to social account ability and why that’s importantThen lead to how it results in mimicking the real world
  5. Talk about how peer review leads to social account ability and why that’s importantThen lead to how it results in mimicking the real world
  6. Open Discussions: transparency; we want to be PART of the discussion, to guide the discussionSelf-Management of the crowd: “Matt Johnson referrs to it as a late-development of the crowd” and I agree.The goal is to get an ROI on the crowd. The best way to achieve that is to need little direct oversight of the crowd. To create a system that mimics the real-world (Social Accountablity) and allows us to reduce management costs—that’s suppose to be the promised land of crowdsourcing (“no more direct management, mr client.”) But if we company managers still need to be there, there isn’t much ROI…
  7. If you don’t create the formum, then you WILL be excluded from the discussion. It is better to be part of the forums, and officialy sanctioned to guide dicsussions and set policies than to participate in a forum that the “crowd” dreamed up and has absolute control over.
