CROWDSOURCING
“Hobbyists, part-timers, and dabblers suddenly
have a market for their efforts, as smart companies
in industries as disparate as pharmaceuticals and
television discover ways to tap the latent talent of
the crowd. The labor isn’t always free, but it costs a
lot less than paying traditional employees. It’s not
outsourcing; it’s crowdsourcing.”
-- Jeff Howe, “The Rise of Crowdsourcing,” Wired 14:06 (June 2006). http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.06/crowds.html
