Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing is the practice of getting information by volunteering the services of a large number of people, either paid or unpaid, typically via the Internet. According to an article on wired.com, It’s been used to come up with new business ideas, solutions to social problems, funding new products, mapping environmental disasters, identifying potholes that need to be repaired and even getting someone to wait in line for your new iPhone. An example of a popluar site that uses crowdsourcing is Wikipedia. Wikipedia is information gathered by people on the internet. Crowdsourcing is changing methods of labor on the internet because there are so many people online, you do not need a specific person to do the labor you need to get done.
