The downside is that Weather Underground will rely on data from anyone, without checking if their equipment is set up properly. The hope is that crowdsourcing data will smooth out any problems...
What makes a professional a professional—holding a position and being paid for work performed? And what does it mean to get paid? You may think the answer is simple—getting a paycheck of course. How about an amateur—what makes one an amateur? Doing something for free and not getting paid? What if all this was flipped on its head? When it comes to using crowdsourcing as a marketing tool, it’s arguable that amateur creative contributions facilitate engagement and provide a fresh perspective.
What the campaign does is not only gamify something that’s already fun (toys in case you’re wondering), but it also breathes new life into these toys. By familiarising players to these custom toys,...

This is the first in a series of posts from our friends at passbrains, who will be walking us through a primer on crowdsourced testing. In this first part, we cover what exactly crowdsourced testing is, its advantages, and disadvantages.
For many months now, we've been watching the preparations for something called "Crowdsourcing Week" take place. And as the event -- it takes place in Singapore June 3 through 7 -- has drawn closer, it has only grown in its scope, ambition and accompanying sense of gravitas.
Inspired by RJMetrics’ blog post: “The Notorious CEO: Ten Startup 
Commandments from Biggies Smalls”. I realized that Biggie’s lyrics about how to be the perfect drug dealer fit perfectly with the yet unwritten rules of setting up a crowdfunding platform. Let’s see the ten crack commandments and what they entail for aspiring crowd funders…
If it would depend on expensive advertising adding to the cost of raising funds, crowdfunding would lose it’s edge. Social media would be the way to go for your crowdfunding campaign reaching out to believers and turning them into investors. Here are a few tips to get your social media crowdfunding campaign going!
If you want to start a business nowadays, the best money you'll ever spend is to build your own identity that you'll promote afterwards. But when you are a newborn firm with no identity background, how should you go about doing that? There is a misconception that you should have great content to grab potential customers’ attention. While that’s undoubtedly true, at DesignInARK, we’re convinced that poor design can generate immediate distrust. Content is actually a less immediate priority than design, which is responsible for that make-or-break first impression that’ll either appeal to users or drive them away.
We want to help companies discover their identity. DesignInARK realized how powerful it is to ask freelancers for advice and to have more possibilities at the early conceptual stages of launching a business venture (versus soliciting those opinions post-launch). This is one thing that traditional creative agencies can’t offer. Sure, those agencies are great when you are on the same wavelength with the designer working on your brief, but that’s not always the case. In my mind, it’s always better to have options, to have more designers giving you their vision or interpretation of your project.
We present our latest infographic, which tries to answer the question "What is Crowdsourcing?"
This past Thursday, President Obama signed the JOBS Act, legalizing crowdfund investing in the United States. Although numerous people influenced the legislative process surrounding crowdfunding and JOBS Act, Sherwood Neiss and his fellow Startup Exemption co-founders were central figures in that process. The bill would not have passed — in fact, would not even exist — if not for the tireless efforts of these three individuals over the last 15 months. Neiss and his partners crafted the original crowdfund investing framework (which remains largely unchanged in the final JOBS Act), testified at two Congressional hearings surrounding access to capital for entrepreneurs, and lobbied vigorously on Capitol Hill for the ideal implementation and passage of a crowdfund investing bill. Eric Blattberg of Crowdsourcing.org recently spoke with Sherwood Neiss about all things JOBS Act: its conceptualization, the legislative process, its ultimate passage, its benefits and potential drawbacks, its media reception and much more.
