Crowd-sourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. Ok, maybe this makes sense to the ITEC kids, but call me incompetent cause I was lost.
After some more reading, I noticed that crowd-sourcing is all around us. Take a look at www.wikipedia.com and www.urbandictionary.com These are great examples truly show us how important crowd-sourcing has become. Wikipedia has become an online enclypodia that millions of users can contribute as well as urban dictionary. This is a great idea. Compolations of online cookbooks would be anoter idea that one of my friends is actually working on.
So go ahead and contribute.
