There are some great crowd sourced projects in existence no more so than current.com launched in 2005 current.com is a collaboration with its audience.
Current connects young adults with what is going on in their world, from their perspective, in their own voices.
With tutorials, guides and more you can even make your own commercial and earn $1,000 if aired on Current TV. Or better still up to $60,000 if used else where.
It’s well documented that nicheideas loves this concept and I have been scratching the old wooden box above my shoulders trying to think how far this can go. I’ve pondered:
- Does crowd sourcing have a threshold/ceiling? For example can Share Liverpool FC generate 500 million solely from crowd sourcing!
- Can crowd sourcing redefine the web? For example Wikipedia!
- Will crowd sourcing change the what we see in the media? Current TV and more recently Have I got the nerve TV.
It appears that crowd sourcing is more popular than I first thought and is gaining momentum, as I type. I will be sharing more examples in the coming weeks.
In the meantime if you need advice on how to make your own pod, commercial or TV programme head over to Current TV they have everything that you could possibly need and the best part it’s all free. I think I’ll be dusting off the ole digital and get making my first programme!
