Play Write: Existing Micro-Writing Systems

  • Most existing micro-writing systems exist in the context of crowd work, breaking a task down to allow multiple people to contribute to a single piece of writing.
  • CrowdForge creates written content by asking workers to complete tasks like preparing an outline, gathering facts, and writing simple prose.
  • Soylent divides editing projects into stages and uses crowd workers to suggest content, shorten text, and proofread.
  • Ensemble uses a team leader to direct writing projects.
  • While prior work supported micro-writing by the crowd, this work supports micro-writing by individuals.
  • Play Write designs tasks to be interleaved with other tasks, as opposed to other apps which design tasks to be done in one session.
  • Play Write also differs from previous systems in that it looks at micro-writing in a mobile context.
