Slideshow Pics



Crowdsourcing 101 [Web Photo]. (2009). Retrieved March 27, 2012 from: http://www.cooltownstudios.com/images/crowdsourcing-cartoon.jpg

This photo shows the crowd of people helps the one man achieve his idea, which is the basic concept of crowdsourcing.  I could use this when describing the concept of outsourcing.

I like this picture because the man is made up of a bunch of different people and I think the words on the picture are appropriate too.  It sums up crowdsourcing in a nutshell.  This is actually a crowdsourced picture, where the artist designed this cover for a book by Jeff Howe on Crowdsourcing.  I could use this while I continue to describe crowdsourcing or maybe mention the book by Jeff Howe which made people more aware of crowdsourcing (or for further reading).

I could use this picture to show that people from around the world can engage in crowdsourcing.  They can help a company market their product, give feedback on a company’s product, donate/invest money to an entrepreneur, etc.

I will talk about how crowdsourcing is done more and more because of the internet and computers which makes it easier for people around the world to contribute to.

This is a crowd of people showing some diversity of people.  In crowdsourcing, anyone can contribute to a business idea.  I might use this while describing what crowdsourcing is.Description: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6044/5885934765_cc6b96c230_o.jpg

This photo shows the diversity of people working together for a common cause.  This relates to crowdsourcing where diverse people can contribute to a business idea or concept.  This again could go pretty much anywhere in my slideshow.

This photo helps show the concept of crowdfunding, where people all over the world can donate money or invest in new business ventures.  I will use this when I talk about crowdfunding.

I found an article about how crowdsourcing is helping the developing nations of the world.  A project called NextDrop uses crowdsourcing through mobile technology.  Utility workers notify NextDrop when the water supply will be turned on, and Next Drop in turn sends text messages to those who have the service in Africa.  It’s a simple concept, but was just recently done.
