We Are Crowdsourcing

Irrespective of your opinions on crowdsourcing (although we assume because you are hanging around here you think it is as awesome as we do) there are an increasing number of organisations that have found it useful and have applied the principals of crowdsourcing to a seriously large variety of problems, challenges and situations - especially since the arrival of the internet. Once more you may not know if but you more than likely contribute towards one or more crowdsourcing projects every single day just by making use of sites like Facebook, Twitter or Google or even just by filling in a CAPTCHA on a website. The prevalence of crowdsourcing and its growing influence is really nicely captured is this great video put together by James McBennett while he was doing a course on 'Internet Driven Innovation' at the London School of Economics.
