Occasionally—just occasionally—I gloat. Shortly after writing the original Wired article on crowdsourcing, I predicted that the GPS navigation systems like those produced by TomTom and Garmin would eventually put their own customers to work improving their maps. This bit of prognostication didn't make it into my book, but I was happy to discover a TomTom executive attending a workshop on crowdsourcing I gave in Rotterdam a few months ago. Earlier this year the company launched a feature it calls MapShare, in which the TomTom user community collectively acts to provide updates and fixes to the map.
Today, a trademag covering the "sat-nav" industry ( a lovely British locution, that) notes that users have now made 5 million corrections. “To put this five million milestone in perspective: a one-hour trip made anywhere in Europe or North America will be influenced by twenty to thirty Map Share corrections,” said Corinne Vigreux, managing director TomTom.
Below, a graph charting growth of the MapShare community vis a vis growth of TomTom's user base generally:

Being a bridesmaid is an honor and a responsibility. Bridesmaids support the bride emotionally, help with wedding planning tasks of all sorts, and can bear a
significant financial burden. While you want your maid of honor and bridesmaids to look beautiful at the wedding, you also want to keep their monetary obligation to
a minimum. Finding less-expensive bridesmaids' dresses can make things easier on your friends and family. Learn where to shop for dresses that are pretty, wearable
and affordable.

But because the topic is Marvel comic books, the main crossover capabilities from the preceding handful of many years bare mentioning, as they have gained identical quantities of acclaim and disdain by Marvel enthusiasts and non-fans alike.
