Comments on: Intelligently Filtering Journalists’ (Crowd)Sources http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/03/intelligently-filtering-journalists-crowdsources/ Exploring How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:21:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Justin Longo http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/03/intelligently-filtering-journalists-crowdsources/comment-page-1/#comment-316265 Justin Longo Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:07:41 +0000 http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=4680#comment-316265 Will the traditional mainstream media structure will have the flexibility (ability, willingness) to adapt to this role of "intelligently collating, analyzing, and presenting real-time and right-time information from millions of universal sources"? The key, it seems, is "intelligently"; our current search solutions are pretty dumb - the quest is to find solutions that "intelligently ignore unimportant information" (to quote the legendary Perri 6). Web 2.0 pulses with a lot of unstructured text and video and audio data - the challenges of turning this into usable information are enormous. BTW: CBC Radio "Sunday Edition" has a two-part program called News 2.0 (podcasts and transcripts at http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/06/17/f-basen-news-20.html) that resonates with your post. I'm indebted to it principally because it led me to this gem on the value of listener / reader comments on news media blogs: "What do you reckon ... We want to know!" http://reportr.net/2008/03/25/mitchell-and-webb-ask-what-do-you-reckon Will the traditional mainstream media structure will have the flexibility (ability, willingness) to adapt to this role of “intelligently collating, analyzing, and presenting real-time and right-time information from millions of universal sources”?
