Blogging the Nieman
- A Quick Note About This Blog ...My name is Jeff Howe. I'm a contributing editor at Wired magazine. I started this blog, crowdsourcing.com, in June 2006 to accompany an article I wrote entitled, The Rise of Crowdsourcing. I'm currently a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University, and this blog is largely dedicated to providing a window into my experiences this year.
