Dilmot brings you a new type of crowdsourcing: make a crowdsourced interview. Get the questions from the floor! You can combine journalism with reader participation in a unique way, because Dilmot allows you to combine questions that you make and also that the visitors make. The visitors will be able to send their questions to the guest. Normally this platform is used by the web versions of newspapers and magazines that want to engage users with new content and give them the exclusive opportunity to talk with VIPs.

You can publish the crowdsourced interview as a continuous stream, so the questions and answers flow in real-time without any delay or need to refresh the browser, unlike what happens with many traditional solutions.

We could coin the term crowdinterviewing, following the same logic as crowdfunding 🙂

Increase the participation in your Facebook page, website or blog


We wonder many times how to raise the participation of our web followers, whether we manage a Facebook page, a blog or a corporate website. Today we would like to introduce a way of inviting experts, relevant personalities or famous celebrities that will be able to interact with their fans and followers answering their questions directly

If we announce that there will be an on-line interview open to the public participation in our web space, this will be a clear motivation for our readers to come back more often and participate in the live event.
