Twitter Predictions: the future is just 140 characters away
August 1, 2011… tweets or double-check machine accuracy by re-analyzing random tweet samples. Plus crowd-generated feedback could be used to train and improve language-processing software.
With a little imagination, the possibilities of “Twitter mining” are endless. From advertisers tracing tweet product recommendations, to politicians pre-testing reactions (positive, negative, incurably cynical), to government policies. One prediction I’m prepared to make is that the future will hold a lot more …
Down on MyFarm: gamification goes rural
May 26, 2011… MyFarm’s features are pretty rustic. No scoreboards, no clear narrative progression, no “juicy feedback”. The project also breaks one of the golden rules of gamification: players should always progress and never completely fail. In MyFarm, total failure is a very real possibility.
