By way of [The Shifted Librarian]:Tapping into and Rewarding Communities
"Emergent Music: Uncover the undiscovered in new music is now officially launched.
In my own words I'd describe EM as:
A site with collaborative new music recommendations that the community in turn rates and then our fancy math (based on Bayesian statistics) figures out not only the best recommendations but also the best people at creating and improving them (who we then reward).
Something to think about relative to how to get incentives right in KM systems. Also looks like fun in its own right." [Jim McGee: TEC924]
Jim pushes back on my original pointer to Matt's Emergent Music site, and I agree that the tricky part for KM buy-in is the rewards/incentives. I wanted to post more about this because Eric also added his perspective:
"OK, I guess personally what I'm really after is someting more like MovieLens, not Amazon's "people who bought this, also bought this..." feature. Yeah, sure they may have bought it, but did they enjoy it. That's what I'm after....
But can I have the recommendations served up to me....? Say via RSS?" [useless miscellany]
I sure hope so! Eric must have a very rich media life because he's willing to invest the time to note his preferences for music, books, web sites, and movies. Filtering those lists via collaborative technology or RSS feeds is a killer app for information overload. ...
