The CrowdFlower Blog

Since we launched FaceStat, we’ve noticed that some of our users have been uploading pictures of many things other than their face. We’ve seen cats, dogs, ultrasounds, babies, cartoons, and all sorts of things. This inspired us to think about how to apply the FaceStat model to other types of items.

Some of us here are really into shoes, and for the last couple weeks we’ve been asking users to judge interesting pairs of shoes, with questions like “How long could you wear this shoe?”, or “Does this shoe say single or taken?”. The response has been very positive, and users have even been emailing us their shoes to add to our collection.

So we invite our friendly blog readers to check out ShoeStat, an experimental site which is a lot like FaceStat but for people into shoes. Let us know what you think.
