- 11:36 AM AdamSchwabe - Jen Bekman of 20×200 talking. Love that site.
- 11:38 AM ruralocity - crowdsourcing: talking a little about “old guard” and elitism, vs. crowd sourcing. applicable to academia. #sxswi
- 11:39 AM rogerdooley - Crowdsourcing panel is drawing a crowd… SRO

- 11:40 AM thornley - Nain McEvoy: “The Internet is a fantastic tool. The greatest library in the world.” Curating the Crowd-sourced world #sxsw
- 11:41 AM mapgoblin - a little disappointed with the curating the crowd sourcing session, so far it’s very focused on the art world. #sxsw
- 11:41 AM JrMozart - In the Crowd-Sourcing session at #sxsw – I think it might be a #fail
- 11:43 AM AdamSchwabe - Beckman: Specific questions yield higher quality feedback from crowd.
- 11:44 AM AdamSchwabe - Beckman: Way to connect with people in a very ‘authentic’ way – that’s what is most exciting about doing projects like.
- 11:44 AM AdamSchwabe - Trapani: Danger of echo chamber with people who are just interested in this topic. Saw this at Lifehacker all the time.
- 11:44 AM KSuzJ - Walked 10 minutes to ACC Room C to realize the session I wanted to go to was at Hilton C. Now at “Curating the Crowd Sourced World” #sxsw
- 11:45 AM AdamSchwabe - I think there’s a lot of people in this room (like myself and @KSuzJ) who are here by accident. Should be across the street at the Hilton for the “Not the Same Old Story” session but thankfully TO peeps are liveblogging it
- 11:46 AM gabosama - When everyone is in agreement, though, the crowd is not so usefule or interesting #sxsw
- 11:47 AM AdamSchwabe - There’s a lot of Threadless fanboys/girls here it feels like
- 11:49 AM mike_samson - Hostetler: “curating” projects at Threadless serves to inspire the crowd #sxsw
- 11:50 AM AdamSchwabe - Trapani: “I’m an introvert freaking out in front of you here.”
- 11:50 AM AdamSchwabe - Wow the backchannel for this session is vicious! Love it.
- 11:50 AM BenjaminEllis - @souterconsults Nice one! (Live blogging crowd-sourcing session: http://tinyurl.com/b5vxm5)
- 11:53 AM rickmurray - Gina Trapani on her new post Lifehacker venture: more signal and less noise. Translation: crowd size doesn’t matter. Quality matters. #sxsw
- 11:55 AM AdamSchwabe - Q: Has anyone else here found where crowd-sourcing worked to a point, but needed outside influence to develop?
- 11:57 AM AdamSchwabe - A: (Beckman) Didn’t get a lot of response to her content until she Tweeted it. (What does this have to do with crowd-sourcing?)
- 11:57 AM thornley - http://twitpic.com/23auc – Curating the crowd-sourced world panel at #Sxsw
- 11:58 AM NathanBowers - If a panel sucks, walk out. “Curating the crowd sourced world” was going nowhere fast.
- 11:58 AM Manthorp - Sourcey crowd panel rather unfocussed. Disappointing. #uksxsw
- 11:58 AM lickbrain - crowd sourcing panel is losing their crowd…humm. #sxsw
- 12:00 PM ruralocity - crowdsourcing: project only as good as its leader (curator) @ginatrapani. good curator doesn’t let crowd push them around. #sxswi
- 12:00 PM roundobject - I want to source a crowd and take over this panel
- 12:01 PM AdamSchwabe - Q: Not everyone has access to tools, how do you manage that?
- 12:01 PM AdamSchwabe - Hosteltler: Comes down to watching audience, not the tools.
- 12:02 PM rickmurray - trapani: Every sourced crowd needs a leader — a curator — to retain quality over time. #sxsw
- 12:02 PM AdamSchwabe - TweetDeck as a tool to filter out signal from noise with searches.
- 12:03 PM AdamSchwabe - Bekman: Wake up in the morning and look at Twitter before anything else (oh god me too)
- 12:04 PM dpbtwo - At crowd sourcing panel…30 minutes of panel/30 min Q&A. All #sxsw panels should follow this format.
- 12:04 PM ruralocity - crowdsourcing: tools not important in curating the crowd. Just know where to watch. #sxswi
- 12:05 PM AdamSchwabe - Same Old Story session looks like it’s getting into chat about Curation vs. Content
- 12:06 PM SuziDafnis - Outsource your crowdsource – use tools (Twitter/Flickr/Digg) to see what the crowd is saying they want to know about. Dustin Hostetler #sxsw
- 12:07 PM AdamSchwabe - [Funny enough, I'm curating Tweets right now using ScribbleLive to make a semi-comprehensible liveblog]
- 12:07 PM smc90 - Chronicle Books chooses via #crowdsourcing to see what bubbles to top; delegating process to trusted intermediary (which is the crowd) #SxSW
- 12:08 PM AdamSchwabe - Johnson: “I want an intern” and got a great response. Best intern she’s ever had.
- 12:08 PM tenzochris - @jollysonali – Once they opened up to questions the panel improved quite a bit. Score one for crowd-sourcing
- 12:08 PM lickbrain - can you outsource your crowd source? #sxsw
- 12:10 PM AdamSchwabe - Bekman: If you’re trusting people to curate content, you need a track-record or engage them with expectation that it’s not just enough to do it, but to do it well.
- 12:14 PM AdamSchwabe - Q: When to let go of the reigns?
- 12:14 PM AdamSchwabe - A: Wikipedia. Doing it pretty well.
- 12:15 PM AdamSchwabe - Talk has moved to moderation of comments.
- 12:16 PM AdamSchwabe - Trapani: Wikipedia does a good job about defining guidelines and curation description.
- 12:16 PM AdamSchwabe - Trapani: Not sure if Digg has ever admitted they have humans intervening, but it’s obvious they do.
- 12:17 PM AdamSchwabe - Q: How do you curate [language] translation for crowd-sourced works?
- 12:18 PM AdamSchwabe - Have to have checks & balances with people doing that in as many languages as possible.
- 12:19 PM thornley - Paddy Johnson: “When you let go of the reins the dominant voices take over..they’re not necessarily the healthiest one.s” Crowd-source #sxsw
- 12:19 PM AdamSchwabe - Q: Thoughts on responsibility around curating the crowd’s passion?
- 12:20 PM AdamSchwabe - A: (Hoss) If you don’t educate the crowd, you have to deal with the consequences of that.
- 12:20 PM AdamSchwabe - Hoss: Need to give guidelines is very important.
- 12:21 PM AdamSchwabe - Beckman: Encourage people not to like stuff. If you like it all the time, she’s not doing her job.
- 12:22 PM AdamSchwabe - Bekman: There is a heritage of curation that says “we’re saying what’s right”
- 12:22 PM thornley - Jen Bekman: “The role of a curator is to challenge people, … to broaden their horizons.” Curating the Crowd-sourced world #sxsw
- 12:23 PM AdamSchwabe - Johnson: Definitely believe there is a right & wrong. Definitely believe I’m right in curating works.
- 12:25 PM bfre - #sxswnp good session on crowdsourcing-key ideas guidelines for the crowd and trusted core who will uphold those values
- 12:25 PM Spotus - Can you really control a crowd? I’m a having a hard time stay tuned into this conversation at #sxsw.
- 12:29 PM thornley - Context is essential for successful curation. To find the good, you must sift through a lot of crap. Curating the Crowd-sourced world #sxsw
- 12:29 PM AdamSchwabe - Hoss: “Mobsourcing” – Cater to a specific crowd. Every crowd should be specific to what you’re curating (i.e. Skittles marketing)
- 12:30 PM AdamSchwabe - Half of these panelists can’t seem to form a complete thought.
- 12:31 PM AdamSchwabe - tweetwhatyoueat.com creator asking to see more data-driven crowdsourcing on the panel.
- 12:33 PM ruralocity - crowdsorucing: weight the crowd and the curators? data-driven crowdsourcing #sxswi
- 11:48 AM AdamSchwabe - Description from SXSW.com: With all the stuff we weed through online, good filters are crucial. Who’s best-suited to determine what’s best, curators or the crowd? People have their religion about one or the other, however this panel will focus on the overlap, the grey areas and how curating and crowd-sourcing enrich each other.
