A NEW BUZZ WORD – CROWD SOURCING.Boxee is an open source social media center for viewing online video content. A real grass roots startup, Boxee’s staff was so small that they didn’t have enough people to staff their booths at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year.One thing Boxee does have in spades, however, is tons of passionate users. Reaching out to those super users, Boxee offered them a chance to come to Las Vegas and staff their booths. Turning the request into a contest, Boxee asked their users to send in a video of themselves demoing the product. The Boxee staff chose the presentations they liked the most and declared those people the winners, flying them out to Las Vegas and paying for all expenses.
CANNOT CONTROL WHAT PARTICIPANTS POST. CAN ONLY REMOVE THEIR POSTS, LINKS ETC, BUT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE AND COULD GET WORSE!
