Experts discuss the benefits and risks of online reputation
systems. In making decisions, we often seek advice. Online, we
check Amazon recommendations, eBay vendors' histories, TripAdvisor
ratings, and even our elected representatives' voting records.
These online reputation systems serve as filters for information
overload. In this book, experts discuss the benefits and risks of
such online tools. The contributors offer expert perspectives that
range from philanthropy and open access to science and law,
addressing reputation systems in theory and practice. Properly
designed reputation systems, they argue, have the potential to
create a "reputation society," reshaping society for the better by
promoting accountability through the mediated judgments of billions
of people. Effective design can also steer systems away from the
pitfalls of online opinion sharing by motivating truth-telling,
protecting personal privacy, and discouraging digital vigilantism.
