Crowdsourcing

    Crowdsourcing!  Collaboration!   Strategizing!  All the concepts mean sharing, cooperating, and getting ideas.  Crowdsourcing is the process of connecting with large groups of people via the internet sharing their knowledge, expertise, time or resources (crowdsourcing.org).  It is using more than one persons or group assistance with a problem or insight  about a particular topic. It is using a crowd as a source.  Brainstorming!
     'Crowdsourcing.com' states that crowdsourcing is a way of solving problems and producing things by connecting online with people that you otherwise would not know.  How would you do this?  By accessing a large online labour force, asking the crowd for solution, finding out the existence of the knowledge, getting the ideas together and acquiring feedback.  Here are a few ways that crowdsourcing works:
