Crowdsourcing Analysis
Galaxy Zoo
- User login: On the right mid side of the page you can register
or sign in.
- How many clicks to get to the work: It takes 4 clicks to start
working, and three of them are to just login. Very efficient.
- How does it recognize you: You login in, and it is up to you
how much information you enter on the profile page. You can save
your favorite images of the stars/galaxy/celestial body.
- How does it motivate: They make it like a game, a picture
appears and you answer questions by clicking on the box that it
most resembles (the picture inside). Gamifying crowdsourcing
- What are they applying to crowdsourcing: Identification of the
stars/galaxy/celestial body.
- Who is the audience: Anyone interested in the
stars/galaxy/celestial body.
- Is this apparent in how they advertise for volunteers: The site
plays on everyones deep desire to understand the unknown.

- How does it motivate: Gamifying crowdsourcing. You play with a
partner, and get points for each matching tag you both enter.
- What are they applying to crowdsourcing: Tagging Google
images.
- *Who is the audience: I think that the audience is anyone who
wants to leave their mark on the great Google. Or pass their time
playing a unique game.
- *Is this apparent in how they advertise for volunteers: I
personally have never seen it advertised on Google or any website.
I think due to the scope of Google they do not need to do so.
