Joining The Crowd

Joining The Crowd

I saw this CBS video on "What is Crowdsourcing?" and I couldn't go another minute without posting my comment.

Crowdsourcing? It sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? If two heads are better than one, then a hundred heads or a thousand are even better, right? If every success has many fathers and failure is an orphan, then don't we want to give every idea as many father as possible? A crowd of fathers? Right? That was what Kennedy meant, right? Now, we know that too many cooks killed the broth, but what about kitchen help who stirs the pot? Can we have too many hands stirring the -- Shall I say, soup?

Open software -- is that crowdsourcing? Yeah. Crowdsourcing is working, right? The Tea Party Movement -- is that crowdsourcing? It's an open political movement, right? With crowd participation? Some might say that crowd is a mob. It has activists with a lot of ideas, right? Some not so bad? Some loony? Maybe this crowdsourcing dosn't work on every problem?
