July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
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. |
