Crowdsourcing - Where many minds unite.

What is crowdsourcing? As defined by Crowdsourcing Week (2018) it “is the practice of engaging a ‘crowd’ or group for a common goal — often innovation, problem-solving, or efficiency”.

The term was coined by “Jeff Howe, a contributing editor to Wired magazine” who “first coined the term "crowdsourcing" in a June 2006 article” (Alserver 2018).

Although the idea is not new and has been previously used throughout history, for example “in 1884, the Oxford English Dictionary relied upon 800 readers to catalog [sic] words” (Chrum 2013), the fact that technology is so accessible and can now integrate with other platforms is seeing this method of information gathering and sharing richly effective.

Platforms that are common for their crowdsourcing capabilities are; Wikipedia, Ushahidi, Upwork, Startsomegood, to name a few. Each of these platforms has varying uses and are not limited to crowdsourcing for social change. Upwork, which was called oDesk is a prime example, this site connects professionals in need of tech work done, to freelancers. You simple most a job, users bid and you choose who you would like to hire, this service is a fraction of the price of hiring a tech freelancer in person, and they could be based anywhere in the world because geography is no longer a barrier.

The platform Ushahidi is an interesting example of crowdsourcing for social change, created in 2007 during the Kenyan presidential election, the platform was created to let people know of the human rights violations occurring due to restrictions being placed on the media. “Originally a collaboration between Kenyan and international citizen journalists and software developers” (Ford 2012) Ushahidi has now evolved so that anyone can create crowd-mapping with the public able to contribute to the reports of a crisis.

With 7 billion people on the planet all with different cultural experiences, individual skills and life perceptions, coupled with the rise of connectedness due to technological advancements, crowdsourcing is here to stay and will see a future that creates social change, innovates ideas and changes business practices coming from many minds from all over the global, to unite all.

Two Days Left Until The StartSomeGood Campaign Ends! Help Us Reach $10,000!!!

[valiendomother]

My gf is part of a team that’s looking to make arts programs accessible to children in orphanages in Myanmar. They are an emerging non-profit that is looking to make long term changes in the way kids grow up, endowing them with tools that will help them with emotional stability, coping with trauma, and contribute significantly to their physical, mental and social well-being.

This is their website, if you’ve ever been involved in art, you know just how important and life saving it can be. 

Every dollar counts, you don’t need to donate a big amount, whatever amount you can, even if it’s 2 dollars. 2 dollars can pay for transportation for a day, so believe me, it all counts.

If you have rich friends that support the arts, send them this link!
