Crowdsourced Search & Know: Jodo & Wikiasari Employ "The Wisdom Of Crowds"
If you're a surfer, you 'feel' when a great wave is building up power behind you. Whether it's the seventh wave in a set, or a sense of action starting around you, you instinctively 'know' something is coming up fast.
And you have to paddle like fury to make sure you don't miss maybe 'the' ONE wave. Because if you do, then that might be it for the rest of the day...
Well, there is an absolutely MONSTROUS wave building up on the Web right now, which has been gathering momentum since the phrase crowdsourcing was coined in the context of the web earlier this year.
And that wave is using 'The Wisdom of Crowds' in 'Search'. And its just been announced that Wikiasari, 'human refined search' is going to launch Q1 and aim to rival 'algorhythmic, electronic search' a la Google. At the moment, the satisfaction of search is determined by the page that the sophisticated searchbots determine most accurately reflects what you are seeking. Why may well not be the page you end up at first, second or even fifteenth.
Searchbots and Algorhythms are not Arbiters of 'True' or 'False' 'Right' or 'Wrong'. That is why humans preside over courts of law, making 'Life and Death' decisions, not Computers.
So, why should this be any different in Search? Well, it shouldn't be. Where Wikiasari is concerned, this programme should give the user quicker access to what they are searching for. And, of course, where www.Jodo.biz is concerned, we are using EXACTLY the same crowdsouring mechanism - mobilising many for me - to deliver task, answer or search satisfaction.
What will this mean? Well, it will mean in Q1 of 2007, people may start to use Wikiasari to search for what they Really REALLY want and Jodo to ask other Jodoers (Humans) what they can really really do or recommend.
The wave is coming...and we are paddling very VERY FAST to catch it.
PADDLE.
