By comparing different technologies with the GPD, we can uncover what are the elements of good technologies in facilitating deliberation.
In this section, I will take well proven deliberative technologies like Google, StackOverflow, Wikipedia, and less than good almost-deliberative technologies like twitter, forums, Facebook, and compare all of them to our technologies: Delib, Consenz, Whysaurus. By doing so, I hope to find what we are missing and help improve deliberative apps.
First-line deliberative technologies
These technologies are very good at harassing the wisdom of the crowds to create high-quality solutions.
Google may not seem like a deliberative technology at first glance, but by understanding how it works, one might accept that it is a deliberative machine.
Google's PageRank System utilizes some features of deliberation. For instance, it lets everybody post their own site I am basically Index every site on the web. Then decide whether a page is important for the users by several factors that use the wisdom of the crowds. From what we know the main mechanism is how many other Sites referred to the specific site[1]. Another mechanism is when the user visits a site for how long does she stay. By doing so Google uses several steps of the GPD. It let everybody suggest an answer to a question. and then uses users' preferences to help mark the best solutions for the users.
The GPD:
- ✅ Mutual interests: At the base of Google's algorithms lays the ability to find relevant answers specific for each user. Google enables each user to find answers on here specific interests. By doing so it helps users in writers from around the world to find each other.
- 💤 Conflicts: Google avoids conflicts by preferring answers that people prefer. It doesn't try to criticize or falsify sites' ideas.
- ✅ Creating SON: By finding the most used sites google creates public knowledge. The top listed sites are the SONs.
- ✅ Evaluating: Google evaluates the different options by how much other people rely upon them. We might say that other sites are created by people of knowledge Which prefer reliable sites. This with also the time the user stays on the sites to Google how much the site is thought to be reliable and interesting to users.
- ✅ Selecting: Google ranks pages according to the calculation her algorithm made. This helps users find the best options for them.
