That's All Folks - For This Guest Blogger at Least

Well, I hope the last two weeks of Crowdsourcing were as good for you, dear readers, as they were for me. You can keep up with my at my personal blog or my experiment in crowdfunded journalism at Spot.Us, which (shameless plug) is now trying to raise money for its second pitch.

"Fact-checking political advertisements for the SF election." If you live in the Bay Area and want more than horse-race coverage, stand up and make it happen!

For now, I turn the blog back to Jeff Howe who is the real genius that has captured the essence of "crowdsourcing" in his upcoming book.

Nerd - A nerd is very similar to a geek, but with more RAM and a faster modem and often associated with very poor social skills!

Geek.-. Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs.

Hard choice to make Dave, good luck with SpotUs.

Regards, Alan

Later Dave. Your postings have been great. And for Alan's comment, I think I'm between a Geek and a Nerd. :P - Not really...

It appears that over time it’s not only the bottom line ($) that’s forcing change in the field of journalism but changed use of technologies is apparently going to result in fundamental changes in both our qualitative and quantitative abilities!
