I also think you need to give up the idea of
having computers make value judgements, but maybe that's just my lack of
imagination.
Sure that computers will improve doing judgements, but don´t lost the main
force on Interenet, there are hundres of millons of human brains here able
to do judgements, and for me, the most important Internet goal is how to
get this incredible power running in an usefull way?
For the information that you see the first time before anybodi else you
only have computers for the jugement, but also the computers jugements can
use the people past jugements i.e. about the information font...
Some questions about people feedback are:
How to feedback? It is required a way to feedback not only to the owner of
the information but to the comunity, about the information that you see,
it´s requiered to invistigate what atributes want the people to use to
select the information in each categorie, then to ask the people that see
this information before about any of this atributes when they are getting
this information.
Why to feedback? Most people will never feedback unless they don´t get a
reward for it, feedback must be paid, but I don´t agree to: please reply
this question about this information and you get 1$, because people will
reply anything, feedback must be competitive in a feedback game, in the way
that people that are more usefull to other people with their information
will get the greats rewards.
How to organize the feedback to be usefull? with feedback happens that is
as important the jugement as who did this jugement, that´s why I think
trusters can be a usefull way to organize this knowlege, because the people
that join the same trusters seems to have similar values and so similar
jugements.
...
Not only values also e-comerce need people feedback, with the current
Internet stuff mainly comercial brouchures, people will not able to do good
decisions because everyting is gorgeous, wonderfull,..., to been able to
take decisions people need real information not comercial garbage!, it
doesn´t matter how much inteligence you put on people desktop, If you
remove the garbage it will remain garbage, information that comes from
independent people is not so wonderfull about everything because is real
information usefull to do decions, so to impulse the e-comerce.
So yes, we must improve computers jugement but much more people one!
