I would like to propose a session on crowd sourcing. I would like to talk about what sorts of projects people are crowd sourcing and the tools they use.
Tags! Crowdsourcing!
We'll be crowdsourcing content that comes out of this unconference. Our Twitter hashtag is #tcic2012.
Photos and videos uploaded to Flickr and YouTube can use this tag to make it easier for us to find your contributions as we curate the content we produce here. For Flickr and YouTube, you can also use tags like "THATCamp Iowa City," "THATCamp," and "Iowa City," along with whatever tags you wish to label your work with. Thank you for helping us document our THATCamp!

THATCamp Iowa City is being organized by University of Iowa graduate students and HASTAC Scholars Melody Dworak and Katherine F. Montgomery. Questions/comments can be emailed to THATCampIC (at) gmail (dot) com or tweeted to @THATCampIC.
I would especially like to hear about how to work with crowd-sourced data, which can be extremely messy. What data cleaning tools/methods do people use?
