It's a busy day for this Nieman. I've got Benjamin Buchloh at noon (see below), and then at 3 PM I'll be filming a Q&A for the Nieman Lab with Bob Garfield, host of the public radio show, On the Media and author of The Chaos Scenario. Then at 4:30 Bob and I take the stage at the Nieman seminar room to hear him talk about his book, and why we are all—those of us in media at least—totally fucked. (Those are Bob's words, by the way.) I'll be posting more about the seminar and linking to the final cut of the Nieman Lab video.

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.
