  • Psychologist finds Wikipedians grumpy and closed-minded

    • by Peter Aldhous, 03 January 2009, New Scientist
    • Disagreeable and closed to new ideas - that's the picture that emerges of contributors to community-curated encyclopaedia Wikipedia from a survey of their psychological attributes.
    • Amichai-Hamburger speculates that rather than contributing altruistically, Wikipedians take part because they struggle to express themselves in real-world social situations.

  • Crowdsourcing, Attention and Productivity

    • Bernardo A. Huberman, Daniel M. Romero and Fang Wu; Working Paper HP Labs, 2008-09-11
    • They show through an analysis of a massive data set from YouTube? that the productivity exhibited in crowdsourcing exhibits a strong positive dependence on attention, measured by the number of downloads. Conversely, a lack of attention leads to a decrease in the number of videos uploaded and the consequent drop in productivity, which in many cases asymptotes to no uploads whatsoever.
