Three thought provoking approaches to crowdsourcing crossed my path this week. #GreatCaseStudies
One (1) Crowdsourcing Fun
If you haven't already heard of The Awesome Foundation’s Toronto launch - a truly awesome concept! “ The Foundation distributes a series of monthly $1,000 grants to projects and their creators. The money is given upfront in a paper bag full of cash by a group of ten self-organizing “micro-trustees,” who form autonomous chapters around geographic areas or topics of interest.

Two (2) Crowdsourcing Differentiation
Mashable Headline: How HSN’s New Crowdsourcing Project Could Shake Up Online Retail Of note: HSN’s recent gamble on consumer product entrepreneurs and experimentation with crowdsourcing.
Three (3) Crowdsourcing Expertise
The International Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Competition "engaged the best and most innovative international, interdisciplinary design teams—comprised of landscape architects, architects, engineers, ecologists, and other experts..." to create wildlife crossing structures. arc-competition.com
From Lisa Rochon's G&M article: A safe passage across treacherous roadways. A great contrast to the human centred design focus of last week. Toronto's Janet Rosenberg & Associates entry shown here.
