Help us find the red balloons

We Won!

Posted by admin on December 6, 2009; This entry is filed under Uncategorized.

Well. I feel like we did- What a fun day! I’ll do a full post-analysis tomorrow of the day’s events, but I just wanted to check in before I crashed for the evening. Congrats to the MIT crew, I can’t wait to read what you guys were up to during the day!

I still stand firm that the challenge could have been completed much sooner (and would have been a better test of the internet as an intelligence gathering tool) if the green eyed money menace wasn’t mucking things up. Though I’m not sure how you’d inspire people to do it without tempting them with $. I’m gonna go sleep on that.

Happy Birthday Internets!

Its funny you mention the money. My colleague believed that the team that was giving money to individuals would win. His reasoning was human nature: what’s in it for me? If you have data you can share as far as your web site peaks, why people got involved, and your conclusions ..we are looking at data to write a paper.

Thanks.

Cheers. TL
