TRANSCRIPT

CrowdsourcingDerek Powazek

This is the first slide.

“Crowdsourcing is the act of taking ajob traditionally performed by a

designated agent (usually anemployee) and outsourcing it to anundefined, generally large group ofpeople in the form of an open call.”

– Jeff Howe

“I find the term ‘crowdsourcing’incredibly irritating. Any company

that thinks it’s going to build a site byoutsourcing all the work to its users …

completely misunderstands what itshould be doing.”

– Jimi Wales
