Wikinomics readers are encouraged to register at Ameritocracy. The site deploys a lot of principles of Wikinomics. It allows users to vote on veracity of stories, quotes, etc. that appear on the Internet. Quotes are rated for both credibility and relevancy (see screen shot below). From the site:

The core features of Ameritocracy are adding statements (made by a person or organization) and assessing statements. For example, if you hear Jane Doe say something on tv that you find questionable, you can submit that statement to the site to see what the community has to say about it, or you can add your own assessment. Members can then rate Jane Doe’s statement for credibility and relevancy, add their own assessments, or post a comment.

From this, Jane Doe will develop a reputation based on the community ratings, and you and your sources will develop a positive reputation so long as no one identifies your submission as a misquote or deliberately inaccurate information. The goal is to get a few different perspectives for each statement, so anyone looking to know more about a statement can get a broader picture and make their own assessment.

Ameritocracy just launched the public beta site – anyone can read, but you need an invite code to register and participate.  We’d love to have your readers’ viewpoints in our community and get their feedback on the site.  The first 100 readers to sign up using the invite code WIKINOMICS can register, and everyone gets 10 invites.
