How online crowds think: the wisdom of crowds, crowdsourcing projects, prediction polls, and mob dynamics — when many strangers beat experts and when they don't.

What E Crowds Does
An exploration of electronic crowds: crowdsourcing, crowd wisdom, and collective decision-making — when many strangers online outperform a few experts, and when they don't.
Why the average of many independent guesses often beats the best individual expert.
Open calls that built encyclopedias and mapped the world — how distributed contribution is organised.
Polls, prediction questions, and ranked voting: methods for turning many opinions into one call.
Galaxy classification, bird counts, and transcription drives — real science done by volunteers at scale.
Herding, pile-ons, and information cascades: the conditions that turn a wise crowd into a mob.
Independence, diversity, and aggregation — the three ingredients any crowd platform must protect.
How E Crowds Works
Collect each person's input before anyone sees anyone else's — independence is the whole trick.
Recruit beyond one bubble; a crowd of clones is just one opinion counted many times.
Average, vote, or rank with a method chosen in advance, and publish how the answer was computed.

Get matched
Verified partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
Yes, under conditions: participants must judge independently, bring diverse perspectives, and have their answers aggregated fairly. Break independence — let everyone see the running tally — and accuracy collapses.
Outsourcing a task to an open, undefined group online instead of a hired team — from labeling photos to translating documents to spotting bugs.
When emotion spreads faster than information and early loud voices anchor everyone else. The same connectivity that aggregates wisdom also amplifies cascades.
