The final design of Crowdi includes the incorporation of the following innovative features:
1)"Search Maps". A search map is a large space in which users add media such as images and text which when clicked on results in search results to be presented to you in a window directly below; essentially it acts as a large collaborative search box.
2) "Search Result Dashboards". These allow multiple sets of search results to be presented to us for each query we make. Access to search results from a large number of websites is therefore now possible; including search engines, video sites, blogs, maps, music sites etc. In this way we have real choice when it comes to the search results displayed to us.
3)"Crowdcasting". This is an innovation we are really excited about. Crowdcasting allows multiple users to simultaneously meet and interact with each other in a format which allows for real time student study groups and remote tutoring.
4) Game Dynamics. We will introduce game dynamics to Crowdi in an effort to encourage greater participation by users. Adding content to Crowdi search maps or adding to the dashboards will result in a user moving up the ranks on any given topic, from "novice" right through to "guru", "expert" and the highest possible level of "enlightened".
