Add an eventWORKSHOP 3B - The Future of Skepticism Online: Crowd-sourced Activism
A session at The Amaz!ng Meeting 2012
Skeptic blogs and podcasts are plentiful and excellent, but often end up “preaching to the choir” of the already skeptical. Are there ways to use other online tools to reach out to the general public? This workshop will explore the use of skeptic crowdsourcing to accomplish that. Technologies covered will include Wikipedia, Web of Trust, Fishbarrel, StackExchange, Universal Subtitles, Foursquare, Yelp and the new tool RBUTR. We’ll also take a look at upcoming new tools that are not yet available.
Requires separate ticket or All Workshop Pass.
