Contest Technologies
One of the most compelling trends in social media, and in the Web at-large, is the prevalence of contests — where audiences vote on their favorites. From American Idol to the "like this" button in Facebook, to rating-stars at Amazon.com, the Web has become a place where everyone gets a chance to vote.
Emergent Discovery has created a suite of tools allowing users to have meaningful input on music, bands, and entire playlists. The most powerful of these tools is the Emergent Discovery Contest Technology.
Now anyone can create contests where audiences become judges. As the host of a contest you can create a custom music player where you present your categories, complete with streamable tracks, artist art, links to artist websites, and more. Our contest music-players can be skinned to match your identity with colors and graphics, and can be hosted at Emergent Discovery or on your domain.
This turn-key solution comes complete with reporting dashboards for managing your contests, and algorithms for identifying and limiting the effect of gamers (people who try to skew contests by voting repeatedly).
