Crowdsourcing - nifty term or a chance to make a difference

This post originates from a path and a series of events that has become a life practise over the past number of years. I read the Age and the NT News online and generally from the IT section of the Age find an interesting article and follow links within the article or google a word I don't know. If the interest continues and it is related to eLearning (or flying or family) I might see if the knowledge or idea presented can be applied or reinterpreted into a context for my world. I say "my" because it is a little serendipitous, random and self indulgent.

Which brings me to crowdsourcing.

Tom Khulman has blogged about his favourite styles in Microsoft's clipart and to be honest I had forgottten about them... a quick trip to bing, alright it was Google revealed the description.
