Herdict Web
Herdict is a project of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. Herdict is a portmanteau of 'herd' and 'verdict' and seeks to show the verdict of the users (the herd). Herdict Web seeks to gain insight into what users around the world are experiencing in terms of web accessibility; or in other words, determine the herdict.
The brainchild of Professor Jonathan Zittrain, Herdict Web is a natural progression from the OpenNet Initiative. Whereas OpenNet views Internet filtering through an academic lens, Herdict uses crowdsourcing to learn about and present a real time view of the experiences of users around the globe.
Why Use Herdict Web?
Let's say you find a site inaccessible...normally, you might call or e-mail your friends and ask them if they're experiencing the same thing. With Herdict Web, you can see - in real time - if others are reporting the same phenomenon, giving you a better sense of potential reasons of why the site is inaccessible.
In other words, Herdict presents your verdict, allowing you, the user, to take control of the process and try to determine what's going on.
