The OrganizedWisdom Expert Curation Platform and How it Works
With the launch of a series of new features we've quietly rolled out over the summer, OrganizedWisdom has laid the foundation for an advanced Expert Curation Platform that already features nearly 5,000 experts in the health, wellness, and lifestyle sector.
As our tagline (great links, shared by experts, organized by topic) suggests, OrganizedWisdom is on a mission to organize the world's best resources and we are doing so with the help of a community of expert curators.
While we are only at the beginning phases of achieving our vision, we were super pleased with this comment from visionary health tech investor, Esther Dyson, (who is one of our investors and advisors) who recently described OrganziedWisdom as "creating order out of chaos...helping people find the best and most reliable resources."
But how do we create order out of chaos? Since so many have asked about our new system, we thought it would be helpful to share how the process works...
Simply put, experts share great links about millions of health, wellness and lifestyle topics every day. We filter, organize and package these links into "social digests" we call WisdomCards. Then we publish and distribute WisdomCards everywhere via our site, search engines, blogs and other sites.
While the quick overview of the way it works may sound simple, the technology platform and process we have spent the last three years building and optimizing is quite complex. Here's a bit more detail about our process.
First, we review and approve experts who share great links online and we provide them with curation tools designed to grow their reach, influence, and business online. We take great care with who is approved to become an expert curator. And we routinely filter out experts who no longer meet our quality standards.
We then organize and filter the ongoing stream of millions of shared links and organize them into Wisdomcards - social digests that group the very best resources and information on a particular topic. Because expert curators continue to share new links, these WisdomCards continue to get better every day.
One of the key steps in our process is how we rank the quality of each expert and each shared resource to help filter up high quality content and guide people to the very best information. To do this, we created an advanced quality algorithm called the WisdomScore and have made this score transparent on each WisdomCard (more about the WisdomScore here).
Finally, we publish and distribute WisdomCards on OrganizedWisdom.com, via search engines, on blogs, and on other sites. (Sneak peak: and as we are about to launch this week, WisdomCards will soon be social objects designed so anyone can embed and share them with people they think will benefit from the information).
