What is crowdsource? It’s a project which outsources work to random groups of people, often on the Internet. How could you use the crowdsource idea for your own work or site? <\/p>\n
From Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to a large group of people or community (a crowd), through an open call.<\/p>\n For example, the public may be invited to develop a new technology, carry out a design task (also known as community-based design[1] and distributed participatory design), refine or carry out the steps of an algorithm (see human-based computation), or help capture, systematize or analyze large amounts of data (see also citizen science).<\/p>\n The term has become popular with businesses, authors, and journalists as shorthand for the trend of leveraging the mass collaboration enabled by Web 2.0 technologies to achieve business goals. However, both the term and its underlying business models have attracted controversy and criticisms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Cambrian House<\/a> – A crowdsourcing community.
