Crowdsourcing Examples

Crowdsourcing is something that keeps coming up in our work at Made By Many, and I’m sure in a lot of other places as well, given that the power of the internet is growing ever stronger. It’s always useful to see and learn what other people are doing in terms of harnessing the power of online communities. So I’ve created a wiki that lists all the examples of crowdsourcing that I could find listed across the internet. Here it is.

There were a number of places that were very useful as I went about the process of collecting this information, such as Peter Kim’s wiki of social media marketing examples and the Mobile Youth blog. There’s a full list of these on the wiki itself, so go and check it out. And keeping in the spirit of crowdsourcing and wikis, if anyone here is interested in contributing examples that aren’t already listed, give me a shout and I’ll set you up as a contributor.
