what is crowdsourcing?

[Vishnu varadhan]

• The work once done in house, from design and research to customer support, can now be farmed out, cutting costs and tapping new enterprise.

[JOHN]

The practice of obtaining needed services, ideas or contents by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, especially from the online community rather than fro the traditional employees or suppliers.

Eg: MICROMAX used crowdsourcing to design their logo. A logo design contest was conducted in which it was stated that the winner (designer of the chosen logo) would be gifted with a Apple Mac Pro Book

Benefits os crowdsourcing

1. The ability to receive better quality results since several people offer their best ideas, skills, & support.
2. Crowdsourcing allows selecting the best result from a sea of ‘best entries,’ as opposed to receiving the best entry from a single provider.
3. Results can be delivered much quicker than traditional methods since crowdsourcing is a form of freelancing.
