  270. <p>After the Haitian earthquake CrowdFlower's technology made it possible to route thousands of text messages to the proper aid workers, to get them translated quickly, and to ensure that the people sending the texts had the best chance of getting what they needed. Once CrowdFlower's technology was implemented, the average time to translate, map, geocode, and categorize a text fell to less than two minutes. Though beneficial, many users who have taken surveys for earnings generated by CrowdFlower have voiced extreme displeasure at the length, complexity, and vagueness of the surveys. <sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

And, for companies, particularly startups, hiring full-time workers, particularly for simple tasks, is a tough proposition. What's a startup or the unemployed to do? Check out Crowdflower, a startup that recently raised $5 million in funding in January from Bessemer Ventures and Trinity Ventures. In this interview, Crowdflower co-founder and CEO Lukas Biewald talks about how 200000 workers have found simple tasks on Crowdflower. The type of worker runs the gamut, Lukas said. Many of the workers have college degrees. At the same time, Crowdflower is working with Samasource, which helps "marginalized people from refugees in Kenya to women in rural Pakistan" to get small jobs.The jobs seem ...

Now anyone can gather data overnight, rather than waiting years. Some of the data collection may be sloppy, but it's possible to build robust quality-control mechanisms in order to standardize the results that come back from the crowd. The important thing to remember is that crowdsourcing provides channels that allow researchers, businesses, or even armchair social scientists to gather data. Topics for any discipline that focuses on quantitative or technical data have always depended on the datasets that were available at the time. For example, the Brown Corpus is a dataset compiled in the 1960s that has served as the basis for thousands of linguistics studies. Graduate students would center entire research plans on the availability of previously collected data. As a result, generations of papers on word disambiguation were tailored to the constraints of old data. By contrast, almost every grad student in the Stanford linguistics department is using crowdsourcing platforms for their studies. Using crowdsourcing tools, it's possible to conduct experiments that replicate the World Color Survey, test Benford's Law (aka, the "first digit law"), explore age and gender stereotypes, or even pose philosophical problems — in a fraction of the time that such experiments used to take, while yielding tons of data.

  369. <p><strong>In Digparty you hang out with people, talk, watch videos, browse the web together, create sprites, and listen to music. Really.</strong></p>
  370. <p>You can even talk to each other (like with your voice), or chat to each other. Digparty runs on both PCs (Firefox or Internet Explorer) and Macs (Safari only), and is a small download (about 1.5MB).</p>
  371. <a href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank"><img src="/images/youtube_logo.gif" alt="" height="60" width="120" align="right" border="0" hspace="5"></a>
  372. <h2>Choose Your Media to Share with Your Friends</h2>
  373. <p>Digparty helps you find YouTube videos that you want to share with your friends at the Digparty. You'll build your own playlist, like you do on your iPod, and we'll put them up on big screens at the Digparty. They could be music videos, or whatever. You get to decide, and there's a ton of stuff to choose from<strong>.</strong></p>
  374. <img src="/images/headset_guy.png" alt="" height="155" width="229" align="left" border="0">
  375. <h2>You'll Probably Want a Headset (but it's optional)</h2>
  376. <p>In Digparty you can talk to your friends just like talking on the telephone. You can use the microphone and speakers in your computer, but using a headset is better. If you don't have one, <strong><a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/internet_headsets_phones/%26cl=us,en" target="_blank">here's some good ones</a></strong>. <strong>Using your voice is optional.</strong> If you'd rather just type, like in a chat room, that's ok too!</p>

  378. <h2>Sprites - Adding Life to Digparty</h2>
  379. <p>Digparty creates a magical landscape of &quot;sprites&quot; - rocks, trees, and other things that have a life of their own. You can create sprites, and leave them behind for other people to find and comment on. Sprites can contain videos, web pages, or messages from you. <strong>Collect Digbucks&trade; to add to your sprite collection</strong>, and you can Digparty your way from &quot;Novice&quot; to &quot;Digparty Celebrity&quot;!</p>
  380. <img src="/images/browse.png" alt="" height="114" width="200" align="left" border="0">
  381. <h2>Browse With Friends</h2>
  382. <p>While you're at a Digparty, you can also click on one of the laptops in the house and look at web pages together. You can each send each other's browsers to pages that you want to share, and talk and chat while you're looking at them. Think gathering around a computer together while you're hanging out and you've got the idea. It's just like that.</p>
  383. <h2>You'll Need Shockwave</h2>
  384. <p>To go to a Digparty you'll need the <strong><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-SHOCKWAVE" target="_blank">Adobe Shockwave plugin (Flash's big brother)</a></strong>. You'll need version 11 or better, because we turn it up to 11.</p>
