How "Crisp Thinking" Aims To Catch A Predator, Griefer, Gold Farmer, Cyber-Bully…

"Crisp Thinking" is definitely unique in today's social networking environment, real time profiling of speech. However, even with the speed of computers today I have my doubts it can handled millions of viewers, say, on a site like Facebook. It is a Pattern Recognition system that goes beyond the ability of Perverted Justice tactics, which have never been proven to be legal. This technology somehow -in realtime- monitors and captures for posterity every single entry on a social networking site, then analyzes it with historical messages from the same user. I can see loopholes in its claims, but it is definitely better than any other system known today. However, the site's terms of agreement better state that ALL MESSAGES will be monitored. I can see this evolving into use by police for their well known entrapment stings.

As a Brit in Silicon Valley, I’m always encouraged when I hear about my fellow countrymen making headway amid their Yank counterparts. And it’s particularly heartening when those countrymen are building companies that promise to stamp out spamming, griefing, trolling and even more nefarious behaviour online.

One such man is Peter Maude, CTO of Crisp Thinking, a UK-based start-up that offers social networks as well as brands like Nickelodeon, Sony and Lego a way to detect everything from irritating bullies to dangerous child predators amongst their users.

I spoke to Maude on Skype to ask him how Crisp Thinking’s technology works and what happens after it detects a bad guy lurking in the shadows. ..Source.. TechCrunch.com Video of interview follows:
