Crowdsourcing a crowdsourcing list

Anjali announced earlier this week that she’d just created a crowdsourcing wiki. She’s too modest to tell everyone how successful it’s been, so I’m doing that now. It has turned out to be an incredibly useful resource – so useful in fact that with no promotion, media or blog coverage it hit the front page of Delicious, from where it was picked up by ReadWriteWeb. We’ve now been deluged with requests for new accounts. What a fantastic example of ‘earned media‘: in this case it’s convened a community of people interested in crowdsourcing very rapidly at no cost. Nice one @Anjali28. You rock.

Here’s a link to Anjali’s original post.
