My post is the perfect example of what crowdsourcing can produce. I've been playing with twitter and came across this post from a follower. http://vimeo.com/25494440 Check it out.

Crowdsourcing, like the Internet doesn't guarantee the "credibility" of the content. So you don't know if information provided by the person contributing is brainless or qualified. For years we were told that the content on Wikipedia wasn't reliable because it was open for anyone to edit it and there was no way to know if it was true. But it was great because it was up to date information and it seemed true, based on our learned knowledge. We weren't allowed to cite it, but we could use it wisely. Jeff Howe says, "I believe that many jobs, maybe even a majority of jobs, will be performed online as we move towards a crowdsourced world. We will work with a distributed network of people, who we may never meet, to create things for other people who we may never meet."

How do we qualify that the network of people are people you want on your team, there should be some way to check their qualifications and credentials. He also said, "Seems a little sad,..." What do you think he means by that? Its sad that we'll never meet the people who make up our network, or the people who are at the other end of our network?
