Matthew Salganik: All Our Ideas
1) Wiki surveys combine open data collection with quantification by allowing anyone to upload and vote on ideas in an online survey. 2) A wiki survey of Princeton students about ideas for their student government generated over 40,000 votes on 100 new ideas, with two of the top five being uploaded by students. 3) Findings showed that the top ideas in wiki surveys tend to be novel ways of expressing existing ideas or entirely new ideas that were uploaded.
