I built [Blinkers](https://github.com/jphastings/blinkers), a little greasemonkey script/Firefox extension that will prevent you from seeing your own Facebook news feed. Why? Because we all know it _eats time_ and poops procrastination guilt.

There are a number of components to these sentences. I shan’t go into the technical details of the (nascent) Credence protocol, suffice to say that these components are compiled into a single sharable nugget that I call a _Cred_ which is published and shared with as many other Credence users as possible, so that it is universally accessible. Those components are:

A protocol like Credence can only hope be the infrastructure upon which more useful tools are built, but I hope I’ve managed to outline how a system like this might work and the benefits it could offer. I find the decentralised nature of the reputation users can generate using a system like this very interesting as it removes the chance for unquestioning acceptance of facts based on general reputation alone; eg. an incorrect Wikipedia article which is cited by a newspaper, which is in turn used as proof that the Wikipedia article is correct, like [this poor German minister](http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/02/10/2211220/false-fact-on-wikipedia-proves-itself) whose name was misquoted.

Credence is just a prototype (and a brief experiment in writing in a new software language for me), but I believe this principle of distributed credence is an important one for the future of mass-communication and I’d be interested in hearing thoughts on, and references to research around, this and related topics.

One key principle in Credence’s design has been that it should not be opinionated; it will not try to tell you that something is incorrect unless the body of people you trust holds that view. This does allow groups of people to express widely disproved opinions as fact, just as is feasible in non-digital communities, but the important difference is that Credence will continue to check for counter-evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
In non-digital interaction if you accept a fringe opinion as truth, the only time you’re likely to reassess that opinion is if you have to act upon it with some level of risk. If the opinion carries little risk in belief, or is rarely tested by the believers then it can [continue unchecked for generations](http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/common-mythconceptions/) — for example, [Einstein wasn’t bad at maths](http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/12/albert-einstein-did-not-fail-at-mathematics-in-school/).

Credence however continues to check viewpoints as they shift, so if _one_ trusted user in a community proclaims that “Einstein was bad at maths” is _false_, it could detect this and prompt you saying “the believability of this statement has shifted recently, would you like to look at the newly stated evidence?”.

Not really a web comic, but always funny; b3ta is a very British culture centric comedy forum, with regular image posts constructed by the members to give some very dry wit to British news and references. The posts that make it to this feed almost always get a `sensible_chuckle.gif` out of me, and I've often come across major (inter)national news from its members' sarcastic takes before anywhere else!
