The Right to Think...Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing was first coined by Jeff Howe

in a June 2006 Wired magazine article "The Rise of Crowdsourcing."

Essentially, it means to take advantage of the talent of the public

with an open call to a group of people,

to perform tasks, solve complex problems, or contribute relevant and fresh ideas.

There are four types of crowdsourcing strategies:

crowdwisdom,

crowdcreation,

crowdfunding,

crowdvoting.

I tap crowdwisdom with each blog post.

With the collective intelligence of the commentary,

each right becomes better written

and more well-rounded,

when I harness the power

of the collected genius of

multiple viewpoints

in comments

from

the

group.

I have found that, over and over again,

crowdwisdom helps to complete the creation of each right I write.

And aren't rights supposed to be for the people

by the people?

I declare the Right to Crowdsourcing.

Many, many things could be solved by crowdsourcing.

This is an important right for the future.
