Kick Mass: Crowdsourcing The Future With Kickstarter
November 11th, 2009
Crowdsourcing has been used in a bunch of different categories.
The idea is that a lot of minds working on a problem are better than just an individual. Everything from Wikipedia to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, the crowd has been utilized as fact checkers, content creators, and idea generators.
It’s been, by no means, a perfect endeavor. For every successful, there’s a flop. Crowdsourcing is a tricky endeavor and to work, it has to break free of the top-down approach that most current businesses mimic.
I like the chances of Kickstarter landing in the category of successful experiments.
Accelerating Technology, Automated Trading, Business Strategy, Internet, Investing, Money, Online Investing AI, US Economy
is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
