Last week, we kicked off a new feature on Crowdsourcing.org--our first live chat with a big name in crowdsourcing. For our first conversation, Carl Esposti moderated a discussion on Open Innovation with Nicholas Selk, Director of Professional Services at Brightidea. Selk manages all client programs for the open innovation and ideation leader, dealing with such big names as GE, Cisco, American Express and Kraft.
Here's a few of the highlights from the hour-long discussion:

Prominent figures in the crowdfunding industry continue to lavish praise on the JOBS Act, which President Obama signed into law on April 5, but the legislation is not without its detractors. One notable critic of the Act is securities lawyer Jeffrey Rubin.

Rubin is most concerned about the crowdfunding exemption embedded in the Act, which will legalize crowdfund investing in the United States when it goes into effect in early 2013. Below, Rubin and I discuss the potential perils of crowdfund investing and the JOBS Act.
