Never mind the debate over whether Gannett's plan will or will not work. The Cincinnati Enquirer has put up a page through which readers can report any voting problems occurring in their precincts. Twenty-five instances of irregularities have already emerged, each mapped out using an embedded Google Map on the Enquirer site. An Enquirer reporter dashed off this note about the effect: "Look at these citizen reports ..and breaking news amid….reporter and photog threatened with arrest….Congressman sent home to get proper i.d. Crowdsourcing rocks."

About Me
Crowdsourcing: A Definition
- I like to use two definitions for crowdsourcing:
The White Paper Version: Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call.
The Soundbyte Version: The application of Open Source principles to fields outside of software.
The Rise of Crowdsourcing
- Read the original article about crowdsourcing, published in the June, 2006 issue of Wired Magazine.
