Abstract: Content insertion elements to combine search results, for example, enable a user to search the internet and obtain relevant intranet search results integrated into the results page from the internet source. In embodiments enterprise search results, desktop search results, or paid for search results are combined with internet search results. For example, a public internet search engine maintains mapping data indicating which users or user computers are authorized to access content from a second source. In an embodiment, an internet search engine receives a query from a web browser and returns results together with a content insertion element only if mapping data requirements are met. A content insertion element may hold an address of a second content source, a query and optional parameters. A web browser is able to render a web page displaying results from more than one content source using the content insertion element.

Abstract: A global currency for crowdsourcing which comprises stored credibility values for every buyer (of human intelligence) and seller (of human intelligence) in a crowdsourcing system is described, creating an ecosystem where buyers and sellers are interdependent on each other. This dependence is the property of a global currency of credibility, where a buyer's credibility is a function of the credibility of the sellers who engaged with HITs published by the buyer, while the credibility of a seller is a function of the credibility scores associated with the HITs, which in turn is dependent on the buyer's credibility. The credibility scores are updated with every HIT completion and propagated through a network that connects HITs with buyers, sellers and platforms, as well as sellers with other sellers and buyers with other buyers. Buyers and sellers can bid, auction and refer HITs as a function of their credibility scores.
