Denk aan eBay, Amazon en Digg. Het is ook geen nieuws dat er velen zijn die proberen misbruik te maken van dergelijke systemen en vaak lukt dat ook. Crowdhackers worden die mensen ook wel genoemd. De huidige reputatiemanagementsystemen werken dus (nog) niet goed genoeg, maar ze worden wel steeds belangrijker. Een wetenschapper zegt in dit Wired artikel dat hij verwacht dat de ‘goeden’ het altijd wel zullen winnen van de ‘kwaden’ door het blijven doorontwikkelen van de algoritmes die de reputatie van een persoon of item bepalen. Zelf verwacht ik dat daarnaast de trend om ons sociale netwerk online vast te leggen nog wel eens een belangrijke rol kan gaan spelen in dit verhaal (maar dan moeten ze er wel voor open staan), zeker in combinatie met het langdurig volgen van daadwerkelijk gedrag van mensen en websites, waarvan het net gelanceerde Spotflex weer een mooi voorbeeld is.

Think eBay, Amazon and Digg. It’s no news either that there are people trying to abuse existing reputation management systems and they often succeed. They are the crowdhackers. Current reputation management systems are not (yet) good enough, but they are increasingly important. A scientist quoted in this Wired article expects the ‘good guys’ to win over the ‘bad guys’ as long as they keep on developing the algorithms that determine the reputation of a person or item. Personally I would expect the trend to document our social network online to play an important role here as well (as long as these services open up), certainly combined with the continous monitoring of actual behavior of both people and websites, of which the just launched Spotflex is a great example.

I assume this is just a case of me not knowing where to look etc. At least I hope that's the case! Please clarify. There is a lot of valuable data in this data space that could do with some form of API level exposure. Does ProgrammableWeb have any APIs yet?
