I have always been sceptical of crowdsourcing because of the integrity issues. Yes, I've seen some interesting examples, such as the use of Twitter reports to map current weather around the US. But, generally, I've wondered if there were any real applications and uses for it. (The digitization of old books is interesting, but I haven't seen any real results on that, yet.) OK, I was wrong, and, choosing the application carefully, I can see how it can work. But, prior to this article, if someone had suggested adding game-playing to the mix, I would have thought that was a deal-breaker. OK, so I was wrong, there, too. Very intriguing application. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] If God had intended man to fly, He would never have given us the TSA victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
