The rapid increase of the presence of Good News in recent years, is predominantly noticeable across multiple media platforms. The advancements in technology have gifted us with instant communication, and as a result, we are now exposed to more positive content than ever before. Even though the traditional fear & drama based news outlets still have a lead in the game, there is a growing fundamental
shift in the minds of many towards uplifting, empowering news. More than a handful of websites around the world have been mustering up positive uplifting stories with one main goal: to bring about a positive mindset and evoke compassionate feelings in fellow humans. Here at GollyGoose, our goal is the same but, there is more…
THE COMPASSION GAUGE TOOL:
Our team developed a unique software – The Compassion Gauge Tool. Its function is to offer our visitors the option to measure the level of compassion of each subject presented. The objective is simple: to gauge uplifting stories and see how we all feel about them. As more participants gauge a story, the more we learn how effective it is in evoking compassion. The process of detecting levels of compassion is not new; it has been around for a few years now. Thanks to a group of leading scientist at Princeton, The Global Consciousness Project was created first put into action in December of 1996. The accumulated data throughout the years contributed greatly to our understanding of how human consciousness is interconnected on a global scale. The Compassion Gauge Tool was designed with similar objectives in mind and with the added introduction of the scaling standard:
Our Goals
1. Provide a user-friendly method for visitors to enable the App’s technology for each post (can be a story, picture, audio and or video)
2. Measure the level of compassion each user is feeling towards the subject presented.
3. Deliver a gauge level on the scale from one (1) to ten (10). Ten being the most compassionate level. THE TEN LEVELS OF COMPASSION
By delivering results based on a scale from 1 to 10, we help define levels of compassion. The Compassion Gauge App automatically detects the level of compassion in each submission and applies it to a pool of data that essentially produces a scale in relation to the number of submissions. Here are the ten levels starting with a “zero” then one (1) through ten (10). Every post starts at “zero” and once enough submissions have been accumulated it will potentially progress higher. I Want to participate, what do I need to do? It is very simple, pick one of the stories we have on GollyGoose and when you finish reading or viewing its contents, press the “Vote” button placed at the bottom of the post. The rest is being taken care of. At each post you can “Vote” once, so make it count. For more accurate results we ask that you place your “Vote” submission promptly, do not wait for a later time unless you plan on reading the entire story again.
