What do you think of crowd-sourcing? Have you done it or contributed to one before? Do you have limits as far as to what you'll contribute to? Think you'd ever run one? I am not the most knowledgeable person when you say Crowd Sourcing.So, I jumped on to Google and found the definition and then to Wikipedia for a fuller understanding - only to find. Yes. I do know what crowd sourcing is and yes I like crowd sourcing, and yes if I found a good reason and thought I could handle it I would probably crowd source. Some of the ones I remember seeing on the news are about people who need things and some one notices. For instance, a man was walking a lot of miles daily back and forth to a job. He could not afford a car, someone else noticed his plight, put it on the internet, raised the money, bought him a car, plus gas to drive it. (Hope he had a drivers license). Even children have crowd sourced to get money to help animal shelters, or people in other countries who are in trouble. etc. If I thought the need was authentic, I would contribute. Not a large contribution, I relatively live hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck, one bill at a time. Still, I like to help when I can. After all 100,000 people giving one dollar to one need is $100,000 dollars. |
