An un-crowdsourced crowdsourcing award? Sigh, someone please find me the next buzzword. Clearly, crowdsourcing has jumped the shark :)

Excellent! First nice thing Wired has done for me since Katrina Herron was editor.

Greetings Tony, crowdsourcing has not so clearly “jumped the shark.”

CS, as a term, is being referred to primarily as a web based phenomena. As more and more disparate initiatives have used the CS model one would suppose that its usage and the form it takes would still be in varying degrees of metamorphosis, I think the problem here is how ones defines CS.

Definitions have run the gamut from “sigh, buzzword,” slave labor, potential for inequity, exploitation or greed to a host of more positive points of view that focus on both personal motivation and questions of community building processes.

The declining use of the term CS might, or might not, be in the books but will most certainly have many more “happy days” to evolve!

So Jeff, what is this prestigious award going to look like? Couldn’t the award proper and the creation of it be crowdsourced?

Here is my suggestion: http://www.jesus.cam.ac.uk/images/news/fish.png

Whenever you feel you will never see light, feel warmth or be happy ever again, just remember, somewhere on earth right now, the sun is rising.

This is a great list, and I appreciate the work that went into it. One question: up to what date is the list complete, and can you add other things?

c'est un peu comme naviguer dans une conjoncture économique difficile. Ici en forêt, la notion de hiérarchie a disparu et le partage des tâches et responsabilités s'effectue transversalement selon les disciplines sportives.
