Description
[INFOGRAPHIC UPDATED 23 May 2011] We are pleased to publish our 2011 Crowdsourcing Industry Landscape. This years Infographic presents a comprehensive selection of crowdsourcing sites and projects. We have selected what we consider to be the best examples of crowdsourcing initiatives for each of the seven top-level industry categories.
Sad that we are missing from your 2011 landscape :(
What does Canada's first crowdfunding website for non-profits have to do to get on there next time?
If you are a site owner and are missing off the Infographic then just let us know. We didn't choose to preclude sites - we have included all qualified sites that sent us their vector graphic logo.
Hi Carl. I was missing our network Edge Amsterdam within the group Collective Creativity. Edge is an online creative network working for clients like Heineken, O'Neill etc. Edge is elite sourcing, crowdsourcing with the rugby crowd. Hope you can add us to the list. Regards, Derek
The rugby crowd has to be "the right crowd"... Excuse the type-o.
Does anyone have stats about the # of Creative Commons licenses currently in use?us4ae
We'd like to be included on this graphic...who do we contact? http://rww.to/k0eTBZ
Hi Carl - To what email address do we send our graphic for peerbackers.com - a crowdfunding site for entrepreneurs - to be included on the industry graphic?
Hey Carl, PubliVate, Canada's leading solution for collaborative innovation would be honoured to be a part of your Tools group. Let us know how to make that happen...thanks!
GrowVC is a Crowdfounding platform. I think the tool section should not exist as all of them are platforms that can go inside the other categories, for example, Spigit could go into the Open Innovation or community building section.
The distinction we have made is whether the 'tool" provides access to a community with whom you can engage in crowdsourcing activities.
Spigit (for example) is software you can license to implement a crowdsourcing initiative but you have to build/find your own crowd - Spigit doesn't provide community with whom you can engage in ideation activities.
