To keep myself occupied, here's a friend's half of an art trade they dragged me into. It's a nearly 3D version of Kia! I'm still working on my half, but it's coming along even in this ditch I've dug myself into. #arttradesopen #at #arttrade #kiamettz #kia #seriouslyfunnysketcher #blustarr #commissionsopen #requestsclosed #bluecat #3ddoodle https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu0MmKFHi94/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v025mu5az525

Week 8 Blog - Crowdsourcing and Crowdfunding

In the era of the internet and social media, it has come to the point that anybody in the virtual world can have a voice while this is undoubtedly a great accomplishment which allows people the freedom to express what they feel like, some individuals try to exploit this advantage to spread misinformation around the web.

Before the creation of the internet there were a few avenues from which people received the news of various events that happened around, be it political, local occurrences or just regular gossip of other people, these information used to get to people mainly through communication methods such as the television, radio, newspapers or by word of mouth. Among social media or the internet in general, misinformation/fake news has been a very worrying occurrence. This is especially true with regards to social media, as a study made by the news sharing on social media stated that people are more likely to encounter false or misleading information on various topics on a day to day basis(Chadwick and Vaccari, 2019).

Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing has become a powerful tool in combat against the spread of misinformation and fake news if deployed correctly, but before getting into it let’s look at what crowdsourcing actually means.

Crowdsourcing, as (White, 2019) explains it, is the practice of utilizing the wisdom of a group for a common goal. This essentially means obtaining information or opinions from a large group of people who can submit their data via internet or social media and utilizing that data to carry out analysis on whatever subject the data is collected upon.

An example of crowdsourcing being applied to verify news is being implemented right now in my own country. Watchdog by Paladin Analytics was developed as a new verification website and software to counter the spread of fake news and misinformation following the horrifying “Easter Sunday” bombings that occurred in April of 2019. It was also used in the verifying news spread on the current COVID-19 pandemic. Watchdog monitors new generated through social media channels an correlate them against prominent and trusted new sources in Sri Lanka such NewsFirst, Derana, BBC Sri Lanka, Roar and among others(Mahesh De Andrado, 2019), it employs examined volunteers to fact-checking news going around through social media and to flag them as “Verified” and “Fake News”.

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is a method of raising capital through the collective effort of friends, family, customers, and individual investors(Fundable, 2019). This is an effort made by people or organizations to raise money for various causes that need funding with, the causes can range from raising money for a game to be developed, charity purposes or helping the people affected by natural disasters.

To make a crowdfunding campaign successful, it is imperative that the campaign is publicized and is promoted on a large scale to garner attention of people, especially over social media. Tools given by social media makes it easy for organizers to share the campaign around and ask people for help. Crowdfunding platforms are also used to promote the campaigns, one of the most popular crowdfunding platforms known as Kickstarter which is primarily focused on creativity projects like Pebbles, 3DDoodle and my favorite card game ever Exploding Kittens. Kickstarter has collectively raised close to $5 billion for over 192,500 projects since it’s launch.

Another crowdfunding platform that focuses on mainly raising money for people in need is GoFundMe which has been used to fund a lot of campaigns aiming to raise money for individuals in need for money for operations regarding their health, raising money for natural disaster relief and much more. The Beirut explosions that happened in Lebanon in August of this caused at more than 200 lives being lost and billions of dollars in property damage to the properties in Beirut. Crowdfunding platforms like CrowdFunder and JustGiving had campaigns to raise money for the people affected from the crisis and had managed to raise millions of dollars to help the people in need. And as it was highly publicized, it drew attention to a lot of people which drew in large amounts of donations to the cause.

Conclusion

Social media has been and will continue to be a significant part of why crowdsourcing and crowdfunding will continue to thrive as social media channels connect everything and everybody in the virtual world with information that can be sourced from around the world and campaigns can garner need to come to the attention in the online communities to make them a success.

Found an old 3D drawing pad, so I did a quick doodle on it. It looks so cool seeing it in 3D. If only I could figure out a way to share it with you guys through the 3D specs. #3d #drawing #doodle #myfriendsfatcat #cat #3ddoodle #findingoldthingsthaybringnewjoy #sketch #ballpointpen #3dspecs #aljournalfranklinii
