Summary
A brief and slightly disjointed attempt by me to highlight and even challenge some common misconceptions around crowdsourcing.
Description
Dispelling some of the common misconceptions around crowdsourcing. Firstly - its not new and did not emerge from web 2.0. Secondly just because something involved a crowd, does not make it crowdsourcing, thirdly what is spec work anyway? and finally why crowdsourced design contests aren't all bad.
