Spigit:
– Spigit brings advanced metrics to social networking to create truly relevant ways of measuring user reputation and contribution.
– Spigit’-s metrics give the best and brightest people and ideas a chance to shine, rather than relying on simple thumb’-s up/thumb’-s down measurements.
– User reputation and expert rankings determine how much “-weight”- a person’-s votes receive. Spigit’-s calculations of conversation levels, buzz and weighted ratings result in a true measure of value.
Can Spigit harvest the wisdom of crowds? Probably yes.
