Just nine months after the first crowd convention in San Francisco, a second event took place June 15 for the first time on European soil. Organized by Clickworker, 150 guests gathered for a day to hear 24 speakers and to discuss the market opportunities for crowdsourcing projects in Germany.

Chuck Blakeman / Traditional Branding Isn’t for Small Business As we start out, we take cues from Giant Corporation, Inc. that we should develop cool logos, fancy brochures, zippy websites, and catchy copy. But this is a waste of time and money for a lot of small businesses and a huge misdirection of focus. There is a better way for most of us. A janitorial supply company wrote a response in another blog promoting all this fancy “branding” (to which this blog is a response): "I think the most important thing you can do to brand your company is to provide superior customer support. Here at CleanItSupply.com we pride ourselves on our customer service. CleanItSupply.com has it figured out. Where do 95% of all our customers come from? For those under 30, 85% of product discussions are face2face and only 7% are online. So what are we doing going out and buying advertisements and creating fancy brochures and clever tag lines to attract people we’ve never met? get those who know us, to love us . Good on you, CleanItSupply.com!
Crowdsourcing and Crowdfunding - The Industry Website Browse Publications New technology in information and communications has changed the character of the digital divide—and the meaning of digital equity in this deeply connected age. Today home Internet access is common, but low-income households, older Americans and people who have high school degrees or less lag behind other demographic groups. The widespread use of smartphones is narrowing the gap for some of these groups, but that alone is not a solution for overcoming the digital divide. These factors, along with the growing importance of the Internet to the economy and society at large, are shifting discourse on digital equity. Since 2009, the Federal Communications Commission has focused the debate around broadband access, which it characterized as a “foundation for a better life” in developing a National Broadband Plan to connect more households by 2020. At Knight Foundation, we strive to support informed and engaged communities.

Crowd-source your night out in the city with the AreaNow iPhone app (TCTV) The rise of location-based apps has been so rapid that there are a slew of products coming onto the app stores most of the time. But few have gone to the trouble of realising that by targeting a passionate user base in one area they may get some head-room over the competition. Hey, it works in the Valley, why not elsewhere? That’s the been strategy of young London-based startup Area Now, which bills itself as a ‘short-notice event recommendation service’ for nearby events. Their iPhone app now in Beta (combined with the site), effectively crowd-sources events from people nearby who want to find out where the latest happening club or event is. Area Now displays all music events in a locality around you, which lets you “Likemark” an event and build up a diary of things to do. The concept might be a stretch for some. We’re hearing the app is turning into a something of an underground phenomenon in Shoreditch – a part of London which has become synonymous with the London music scene.
