'''Google Moderator''' was a [[Google]] service that used [[crowdsourcing]] to rank user-submitted questions, suggestions and ideas. It was launched on September 25, 2008.<ref name="techcrunch"/> The service allowed the management of feedback from a large number of people, who could vote for questions they thought should be posed from a pool of questions submitted by others or submit their own to be asked and voted on. The service aimed to ensure that every question was considered, let the audience see others' questions, and helped the moderator of a team or event address the questions that the audience most cared about.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lai |first=Sarah |url=http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/09/google-launches.html |title=Google Launches Google Moderator For Presidential Debates | Threat Level from Wired.com |publisher=Blog.wired.com |date=2008-09-28 |accessdate=2009-04-20 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205151326/http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/09/google-launches.html |archivedate=2008-12-05 |df= }}</ref> The service was nicknamed '''Dory''' internally by Google, a reference to "the fish who asked questions all the time in ''[[Finding Nemo]]".<ref>http://searchengineland.com/google-moderator-aka-dory-launches-14817</ref>
