Assignment Zero taps into the Wisdom of Crowds
An interesting experiment called Assignment Zero is being conducted at Wired magazine in partnership with NewAssignment.Net.
The experiment aims to tap into the wisdom of crowds and explore whether large groups of people, working together voluntarily online can report on something and tell the story more completely.
As published in Wired "This project offers any willing contributor the chance to do the work of a reporter, writer, researcher or editor in a joint investigation by Wired and NewAssignment.Net. When Assignment Zero ends, NewAssignment.Net will publish the results -- articles, interviews and assorted data. Wired magazine contributing editor Jeff Howe will write a feature-length article that will run on Wired News."
"When the project concludes in two to three months, we hope to have produced the most comprehensive knowledge base to date on the scope, limits and best practices of crowdsourcing",
