keep up the good work - always engaging.
Fo...Tony,<br />keep up the good work - always engaging.<br /><br />For me this aggregate/ filter/ connect is successful, and akin to the American Idol (US audiences) / X-factor (UK audiences) approach.<br /><br />It's definitely a model that's based on profitting (here financial, but no reason it couldn't be educational) from information - namely the viewers' opinions:<br /><br />• Everyone can be part of the 'content' (the audition shows)<br />• People are then filtered down by different layers, until finall eeting the 'judges'<br />• In this model we get to confirm that the editors (Judges) mak a good call with decisions on the 'content' (contestants) - most of the time, that is<br />• we get to see the final content (the live shows)<br />• we filter it/ refine it to the smallest possible (one winner!)<br /><br />What's even MORE interesting about this model is that it actually BENEFITS from the 'outliers' as they're seen as quirky and worth watching as a 'non example', rather than simply being ironed out based on the 'smart crowd' approach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-37502560734803073352010-02-03T08:12:09.235-08:002010-02-03T08:12:09.235-08:00Sorry about the link; I'm not sure what happen...Sorry about the link; I'm not sure what happened, but it was a post I wrote yesterday.<br /><br />Just an update, last night there was a great report on Front Line (PBS) on the "digital nation" which addressed some of the things you have in your post and some of the areas you're still not sure about.<br /><br />The most interesting section was on information overload and the ability for multi-taskers to focus. They also had an interesting section on gamers and the problem that Korea has with gaming addicts.V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-86178301479274133382010-02-02T13:37:45.482-08:002010-02-02T13:37:45.482-08:00Tim - interesting to look at your comment and Tony...Tim - interesting to look at your comment and Tony P's comment. Both suggest there are likely a few different filtering mechanisms that you can define into a flow/pipeline. And, yes, each one will be applicable and have different impact in different situations. Definitely something I'll be thinking about.<br /><br />BTW - I assume you saw Browse My Stuff and some of the sample sites such as eLearning Learning as examples of the model?<br /><br />Virginia - great point that part of the result is that we have to shift into thinking about Just in Time. However, there's a bit of a difference here in that we are also talking about a kind of awareness flow. Or here's a continuous flow of the good stuff. So, it still may not be "just in time."

I'm glad that you found it useful.<br /><br />I'm really interested to see the model for your current project - that is much more the way that we tend to picture 'crowdsourcing', and of course, your example of Digg is too. My suspicion is that the different models will each have situations in which they are more effective, and one of the things that we need to do is figure out the circumstances and objectives that determine that.<br /><br />In any case, it's an interesting area!Tim Kastellehttp://timkastelle.org/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-79976401898921038692010-02-02T09:36:23.756-08:002010-02-02T09:36:23.756-08:00Great point Tony.

Anyone can post their recipes, videos, photos, etc. There's a small group of "editors" who review everything as it is posted, and can promote or remove it depending on the quality and fit with the site's overall cooking vibe.<br /><br />Ultimately, the editor in chief decides what stays and what goes, but it's a pretty open process. Based on where traffic originates (Google searches, Tweets, Facebook walls, etc.), the content is further filtered (aka "featured") and consumed more readily by casual visitors.Tony Pintohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933771834224820433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-48650130025732293402010-02-02T08:44:43.350-08:002010-02-02T08:44:43.350-08:00Useful ideas^^
