CROWDSOURCING




Crowdsourcing is one of the best examples of generosity on the web. Wikipedia is one of the best examples today of crowsourcing : the website exists just because people accept to share their knowledge with others in order to build a huge encyclopedia. But there are so many examples of crowdsourcing in everyday life, just like when I was at the university we shared our notes with other law students by putting them on the Internet. We had no interest in doing that except the fact that we knew it helped.


The idea that every one is part of the web creation is really revelant of the web 2.0 process.
