Smarter, More Direct Crowdsourcing?
A more direct method to crowdsource.
More people are turning to the internet for their answers to questions like “why does this hurt?” to “what’s for dinner?”. Web and mobile apps are becoming the go to for much of our information, but all the information on the internet had to have been put there by someone. The disconnect to relationships comes when you simply read a blog post, listen to a podcast, or watch a vidcast, rather than interact with them directly. Would things be different if we could connect with someone in real time who was thinking the same thing you were, at the same time, or feeling the same way you do? Chances are we’re looking for someone to relate to us in some way and the “Anybody Out There” web app is a great way to get that conversation started.
Crowdsourcing information to questions has never been more direct. Sure you can use Twitter, but that’s like casting out a line and hoping for a bite. Did the person who respond qualify as the best ranked person to respond, or was it just someone in your thousands of followers. What the “Anybody Out There” app strives to do is using its language algorithm to calculate the best people to talk to depending on your question or topic. These recommendations are fed to you and it’s up to you to make the direct point of contact.
The app offers nothing more than a qualified connection, it’s the user experience that I find most interesting. So next time you want to cast your question or topic of discussion into the internet either, check out “Anybody Out There” and see if anyone is ready to talk about your thoughts and ideas.
