Founded in 2010, crowdsourcing.org, is a neutral professional association dedicated solely to crowdsourcing and crowdfunding. As one of the most influential and credible authorities in the crowdsourcing space, crowdsourcing.org is recognized worldwide for its intellectual capital, crowdsourcing and crowdfunding practice expertise and unbiased thought leadership.
Crowdsourcing.org's mission is to serve as an invaluable source of information to analysts, researchers, journalists, investors, business owners, crowdsourcing experts and participants in crowdsourcing and crowdfunding platforms.
For some reason, there's been a recent boost in projects looking to serve the public interest using crowdsourcing. Perhaps April showers brings May do-gooding. Here's 4 projects in particular that have caught my eye of late:
Watch the video of a hearing on a groundbreaking bill to introduce a publicly-funded open innovation program into the field of HIV / AIDS drug development.
Brian Meece, CEO and co-founder of RocketHub, discusses how fundraisers can launch a crowdfunding campaign and succeed at crowdfunding.
It's been a week since Crowdsourcing.org's sister company, massolution™ -- a research firm specializing in crowdsourcing and crowdfunding solutions -- released its first comprehensive Crowdfunding Industry Report. In those past seven days, the report and some of the insights within it have made the rounds in the global business and technology press, including the New York Times and the Washington Post among many others.
Occassionally, we ask the people behind crowdsourcing platforms and other initiatives to share their stories with us. We posed the following questions to Jordan Bowerman of SociallyShared.com about the platform for tapping the power of "social sales" to promote products.
