DEMO Says
As social networks proliferate and amass large memberships, they seem to hit a point of diminishing return. There is, in effect, more crowd and less wisdom. Not because social networks don’t have smart people, but because the networks don’t effectively filter noise to deliver knowledge. spigit changes that, adding game theory, simulation engine, and smart algorithms to tap the wisdom of the crowd to cultivate and reward smart ideas and those who advocate for them. As a social platform on the public Internet, spigit will be a fascinating experiment. As a tool for idea vetting in large enterprises, it is invaluable.
