Today I published the first excerpt of the book on Wired.com. It's a close look at iStockphoto, and raises the question of whether the transformation we're seeing stock photography is merely the canary in the coalmine. I purposely chose a section that's meant to provoke some back-and forth. Hope some of that comes back to crowdsourcing.com. Should be up all weekend—enjoy!

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.
