Appfricast 19 - Curating and Verifying Realtime News
Posted By Jon On March 30, 2010 @ 5:09 am In Appfricast | 1 Comment
Information wants to be flow and it wants to flow torrentially. Twitter, SMS, E-mail, RSS and more offer unprecedented access to first-hand accounts of events. But with these methods for delivery comes the deluge of overwhelming re-tweets, cross-chatter, spam and inaccuracies. How do you distinguish signal from noise? How can you automate the process of filtering content into more manageable portions without sacrificing accuracy and relevancy? Are there ways to then distribute trust and authority across the internet?

CORRECTIONS
In this podcast I mistakenly attribute the creation of the Twitter hashtag to Jason Calacanis [9] (Mahalo). It’s actually Chris Messina [10] who’s widely credited with their creation back in 2007. He currently works at Google.
