Crowdsourcing Derek Powazek This is the ﬁrst slide.

“Crowdsourcing 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.” – Jeﬀ Howe

“I ﬁnd the term ‘crowdsourcing’ incredibly irritating. Any company that thinks it’s going to build a site by outsourcing all the work to its users … completely misunderstands what it should be doing.” – Jimi Wales
