uTest announce today three community-driven programs that may represent a paradigm change in mechanisms that drive worker performance. While the advantages of crowdsourcing to leverage a distributed virtual on-demand labor pool, to fulfill a range of tasks from simple to complex appear apparent, it seems the model is not without flaw. Numbers of staff can be ramped-up for a fee or turned off, typically without incremental cost. However, there are challenges managing a workforce that isn’t dedicated and not paid to turn up to work at 9am each day. So how do you optimize a workforce that works voluntarily? I spoke with Matt Johnston, uTest’s CMO, who shared some insights into their leading-edge approaches for worker management in a crowdsourcing environment.

In another landmark win for the crowdsourcing industry and GeniusRocket, crowdsourced vídeo production proves it’s a very real threat to the traditional big agency model for TV advertising production. In less than three weeks from the first meeting to premiering during NBC's "Meet the Press" on July 17th, GeniusRocket delivered a high quality production for a third of the typical cost.
With a straightforward and emotional message, Jam Session is the first advertising campaign launched by The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare in more than a decade. It is a decisive action to save what they consider essential public programs as Congress debates dramatic spending cuts.
The National Committee selected GeniusRocket, the DC-based advertising firm, a Pioneer in the crowdsourcing space, in favor of competition from within the advertising industry. The National Committee were looking for an ad that would effectively broadcast their mission in a national television advertising campaign.
"We needed a process that could guarantee enough creative options for our ad without the high fees associated with a traditional ad agency," said Pamela Causey, Director of Communications for the National Committee.
As a result of this week's live chat, the SRO working group learned that there is some confusion around whether and when platforms can charge a fee for facilitating crowdfunding. We invite you to join members of CFIRA's leadership group and our securities attorney's for next week's live chat to clarify this issue.
Specifically, platforms have the following abilities:
• Until July 4, 2012, platforms may not facilitate any form of "solicitation" or advertising of raises;
• From July 4, 2012 until January, 2013, platforms may only facilitate "Regulation D" offerings, must limit all offerings to accredited investors, and cannot charge a fee for that facilitation;
• After January, 2013, platforms may offer crowdfunding offerings (not Regulation D offerings), and may charge a fee to facilitate those offerings.
We will discuss this in more detail to answer questions you may have, and welcome you to our next Live Chat at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST on 16 April 2012.
