Crowdsourcing

Croudsourcing is the act of allowing fans to give input on things. A very good (but not well-known) example is Imogen Heap's The Bubbletank. During or before the events, fans can input their content. For example, Live 4 Sendai allowed people to submit sketches of houses that Architecture for Humanity would use for a real, on-the-ground project. In 2010, Imogen Heap created the first croudsourced nature film in history, Love The Earth. Wikipedia and Encyc are a type of croudsourcing; fans can submit content (text, images, etc.) to try and build an encyclopedia. Wikademia is a croudsourced educational platform. On July 24, 2010, YouTube users from all over the world filmed video clips that they later uploaded to YouTube and sent in for inclusion in a film called Life in a Day. There are many croudsourced online publications. Encyc and Wikipedia are croudsourced encyclopedias. WMG is a croudsourced publication with articles about music and musicians. Rosetta Code is an online publication by programmers for programmers. The wiki part of Esolangs is for esoteric programming, especially people who want to create their own concept programming language. AboutUs is another croudsourced online publication dedicated to the web and websites (an online directory). WikiIndex is a croudsourced publication all about wikis. Wikidweb is a less popular, less quality publication about the web and websites. Wipi is a croudsourced publication with information of a sexual nature, similar to a magazine like Cosmo. But croudsourcing is more than just wikis. Cover Me In Ink is an online publication all about singer/songwriter Imogen Heap, but it is not a wiki. Fans have to email their article to an editor. Just like BrailleNoteUsers.info, an online publication dedicated to the BrailleNote computers. Note The Bubbletank, mentioned earlier in this article.
