The Mission
WSC Group develops theme-based social networking web sites that provide the richest most engaging online social networking experience. Our community members build credibility by making accurate event predictions, such as game scores on CrowdPicks.com, or stock price predictions on Wall Street Cred. Member credibility is represented by a score and a corresponding avatar. Users are provided with an image rich, web environment, with strategic application of JavaScript and AJAX to present a unique Web 2.0 user experience. We have built a simple, but fully customizable, scoring engine used to accurately track member prediction performance. Scoring results are tied to a reward structure to present users with intricate trophies and other awards and prizes. This flexible platform can be leveraged to create any social networking theme or genre. Using our existing platform as a foundation, we can provide a solution in any network where event prediction, validation and member accuracy tracking are desirable. We seek to license our existing platform, provide consulting and design services, or build other social networking solutions for both small and large businesses.
WSC Group is located in Omaha, Nebraska and was incorporated in 2006 in Nebraska. We are currently completing construction of CrowdPicks.com and hope to continue to launch additional sites and enhance our platform throughout 2008. Our operations are housed inside the Scott Technology Transfer and Incubator Center on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Developed by the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation (a public, non-profit foundation) the Scott Technology Center is designed to facilitate partnerships targeting engineering and information technology.

 www.crowdpicks.comWe started CrowdPicks.com because we grew tired of going to the same old sports sites, with the same old opinions, from the same old anonymous members. No one is ever accountable for anything, so everyone makes predictions on everything and no one follows up to see who knows what they are talking about and who doesn’t. We wanted to create a sports community that held people accountable for their statements, claims and predictions. Even the proclaimed “experts” from reputable websites are never really held accountable for what they say...but now, that has changed! We hope that you will find this site a credible, rich and fun source of sports information instead of the typical “writing on the bathroom wall”. Our core principle is built on credibility (sports cred). Build your sports cred by displaying your sports knowledge, prove that you know more than those “experts” and never again waste your time reading or listening to someone who has no sports cred. In the very near future we hope to unveil an exciting part of our site that will financially reward those that deserve to be rewarded. |
