in Wisdom of crowds — except at work? on Mathew's comments
Hi Mathew,

I think it's easy for each side of the debate to come up with
examples of where crowdsourcing works, and where it doesn't
work.

Mr. Freedmans example, while fair, miss some of the critical
points James points out in his book for what crowds need to
be effective - specifically independence, and a vested interest
in the outcome.

We are strong believers in crowdsourcing. At Cambrian House
we use the crowds rank our upcoming product ideas. We even
use the crowds to then help us build them.

Anyone will always be able to come up with an example of how
a crowd has been mislead (stock markets), but I don't again
with Mr. Freeman when he says collaboration of crowds does
not work.

All the best,
