It is imperative that “the crowd” accurately characterizes the sentiment of the tweets that are presented to them. That is why DialogueEarth has partnered with CrowdFlower to maximize quality using...
A new post from our friends at Dialogue Earth about their ongoing efforts to determine trends in sentiment using crowdsourcing:
After evaluating machine-based sentiment products and talking to experts in the field, we determined that effective machine-based coding—for the short, often cryptic, Twitter tweets we sought to understand—remained a challenge. We’ve been using an approach that relies mainly on crowd-sourced workers to code the sentiment of tweets on various topics, from specific chatter about Google and Apple during SXSW Interactive, to the broad public mood about weather and gas prices.

South by Southwest (SXSW) is the annual opportunity for startups across art and technology to prove themselves or, more often than not, generate buzz in the attempt. Whether you’re checking out the latest surf rock 3-piece or organizing drinks via group text, SXSW generates chatter – and a lot of it. We couldn’t resist the lure of participation, albeit from across the country, so we decided to turn our developing Pulse technology, for analyzing social sentiment, on the interactive portion of the event. We focused on something a little different, though…
We have been running a lot of jobs through CrowdFlower, but only recently did I step back and add up the tweets processed. For more than 200,000 individual tweets, we have received more than 1,000,000 trusted, human judgments from the CrowdFlower workforce! I know our research team, who had to do a bunch of judgments early on as we worked out a viable strategy, are grateful that we could get help from the crowd.

What do the world’s social media users think about crowdsourcing? Crowdsourcing.org partnered with KL Communications to find out.
Using a tool called Netbase, which indexes and analyzes millions of conversations across the web, Crowdsourcing.org and KLC analyzed data for the top 15 sites generating the most buzz for each of the five main crowdsourcing categories in Crowdsourcing.org’s Directory: cloud labor, crowd creativity, crowdfunding, distributed knowledge and open innovation. This report examines a year of data — timeframe: November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011 — garnered from Facebook, Twitter, blogs, forums, news sites and consumer reviews.
A look at which of the many crowdfunding platforms are the most talked about online, and how positive the social media buzz is...
We've already examined how the online public seems to feel about Crowdfunding, as well as Cloud Labor. Now, this week we're going to look at the data for Crowd Creativity platforms.
Distributed Knowledge is the most discussed type of crowdsourcing, with the category’s top 15 platforms garnering nearly nine million social media mentions during the examined one-year timeframe. There’s a reason, after all, that the cocktail party definition of crowdsourcing is “Wikipedia, for everything.” Speaking of the community-authored encyclopedia, Wikipedia ranks highest in “absolute buzz” among Distributed Knowledge sites, racking up 2,216,124 total mentions. Social news aggregator Digg comes in a close second with 2,118,646 mentions, followed by social news site Reddit, the self-proclaimed “front page of the internet,” which garnered 1,747,223 mentions. Discovery engine StumbleUpon and TomTom, a GPS navigation company that crowdsources map info, round out the top five with 1,247,871 and 476,283 mentions respectively.
So far we've looked at how the crowd feels about the biggest Crowdfunding, Cloud Labor, Crowd Creativity and Distributed Knowledge sites. Now, this week we're going to wrap up our series with a look at the last category in the Crowdsourcing taxonomy--Open Innovation.
