Slides from Derek Powazek's talk at Future of Web Design 2008 NYC.

1. Crowdsourcing
Derek Powazek
This is the first slide.

2. “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

3. “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
