Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing's an interesting idea. We're starting to see it a lot more frequently, too. Look at Change.gov's Open For Questions page, Google's Project 10^100 and TipJar (profiled in the WSJ), and even the Museum of Modern Art. All ask users, visitors, or customers to contribute to the conversation as if democratizing knowledge. Might have to pick up The Wisdom of Crowds this weekend. 

Seems like a challenge to do it effectively, but jumping that hurdle could lead to some incredibly cool ideas for new products/services.
