Um dos temas mais importantes: colaboração

Crowdsourcing é colaboração em massa. Obter soluções e esforços de uma massa, do público, dos clientes, de onde for acessível. Mas de vários. Sempre.

The Myth Of Crowdsourcing... Or Misunderstanding Crowdsourcing?

A bunch of folks have sent in this silly opinion piece at Forbes, claiming that crowdsourcing is a myth. The reasoning? Because there are individuals in the crowd. Except... um... did anyone say anything different? Of course there are individuals, and the point of crowdsourcing isn't that everyone in the crowd is equal, but that they each get to contribute their own special talents, and something better comes out of it. Every example that the guy dismisses as not crowdsourcing -- Wikipedia, the Netflix prize, open source developing, etc. -- actually does involve crowdsourcing.
