“IT’S A PEOPLE DRIVEN ECONOMY STUPID”
-ERIK QUALMAN, 2009
USER GENERATED CONTENT
The production of content by the general public rather than by paid professionals and experts in the field. Also called "peer production," and mostly available on the Web via blogs and wikis, user-generated content refers to material such as the daily news, encyclopedias and other references, movie and product reviews as well as articles on any subject, all of which have been traditionally written by editors, journalists and academics.

USER GENERATED CONTENT
GOOGLE AND UGC
Google results for Samsonite Luggage in January 2010, which had no social media integration.
GOOGLE AND UGC
New value is delivered to the user via local places, product availability, price comparison, and social content. You’ll notice the UGC — customer reviews are included in the Shopping OneBox.
BOTTOM LINE – UGC MATTERS NOW MORE THAN EVER Search and social used to be two separate spheres,
but those worlds have collided
Business should evaluate their websites. Consumers want: Right product at the right price Easy to navigate user experience Easy checkout and fast delivery
Business should also increase quantity and quality of customer reviews Organize reviews so easy to find and browse At-a-glance summaries (pros, cons, and best uses of
product) Average rating

“WHEN COSTS OF PARTICIPATION ARE LOW ENOUGH, ANY MOTIVATION MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO LEAD TO A CONTRIBUTION” -MICHAEL FELDSTEIN
Daniel Pink “Drive: the Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us” Financial incentives only serve to motivate positive
performance in the most narrow of circumstances Workplace motivation and job performance is really driven
by need for autonomy, mastery, and purpose
Jeremy Rifkin’s “The Empathic Civilization” We are social creatures with a biological propensity to help
each other out Neuroscience has found that human brains are actually
soft-wired for belonging, socialability, and companionship Studies confirm it is in our biology to experience another’s
plight One extended family resulting in empathetic bonds tend to
broaden as technology and societal structures evolve
AGE OF PEER PRODUCTION……….. PEOPLE POWER!
"Peer production is viable when: 1. capital costs (needed for production) fall far enough and 2. coordination costs fall far enough. Cheap computing and communication reduce both of these exponentially, so peer production becomes inevitable.” - p2pfoundation.net
WHAT IS COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE?
Collective intelligence – Groups of individuals doing things collectively that seem intelligent
-MIT Center of Collective Intelligence
Has been around for a long time In 1911 William Morton Wheeler observed ants working in a
group and saw them as not individuals but as one single unit working as one in a colony which created a “superorganism”
A year later in 1912, Émile Durkheim identified society as the sole source of human logical thought. Which we believe to be a true statement because a lot of our knowledge is from other people so we are like the ant colony.
Technology is what makes it different today
COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE A BIG BUSINESS
Allows an individual to quickly leverage the expertise of millions in just a few seconds
If you have looked at product ratings and reviews on Amazon you just tapped into collective intelligence brought to you by social media
EVOLUTION OF COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE
CROWDSOURCING AND COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE
“A central principle animating crowdsourcing is that the group contains more knowledge than individuals” – Jeff Howe
“Even if most of the people within a group are not especially well-informed or rational, it can still reach a collectively wise decision” – James Suroweicki
It is the science that explains why when asked for a lifeline on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the crowd guesses 91% correctly, whereas experts have a 61% likelihood of getting the right answer.

CROWDSOURCING TIPS
Crowdsourcing has three unique requirements to deliver collective intelligence1. Diverse crowd
Diverse set of minds to go at the question at different angles
2. Qualified crowd People must be interested and capable
3. Right sized crowd Simpler the crowdsourcing question the larger the
crowd needed (American Idol vs. more technical question)

Strive to reach rough consensus regarding the goals of your projects and the best ways of realizing them

IT IS NOT AN INDIVIDUALS IQ
We may focus on the stories of individual genius, but it will be harnessing the intelligence of the collective that enables humanity to solve its future problems.
