Crowdsourcing story on NPR

Posted by Jeff Culbertson on August 20th, 2008

This morning on NPR, I heard a good report on crowd sourcing (click “Listen Now” for the audio). It’s a pretty basic but insightful look at the potential benefits of crowdsourcing, especially as regards cost savings. As they say in the report, it’s not right for every company or every situation, but it’s a perfect fit for some.

Social Networking Saves the Planet?!

Check out Planet Makeover. It’s a great concept that brings together business, entertainment, and social media for the sake of helping our environment.

Full disclosure: We’re building the social network and we’re a sponsor…but that’s a good thing, right?
