When I was younger and still Attending high school was facing a serious problem: Wikipedia has copied my work. And the teachers always discovered. Perhaps because she copied to Them Also, the not know. What I discovered after some time I've Always Been right after all, i had written Wikipedia.
Also I discovered That translate Facebook and Twitter (Topics Trend, mea culpa), Which Helped in the development of Linux and Firefox, Which cooperative with Google AdSense and Amazon and all social networks only exist because I exist.
No, Tecnoblog readers, this is not an essay about me narcissistic. Rather, it is an observation of a silent revolution Which we are all part. The revolution that is slowly changing the way the things we. The revolution called crowdsourcing.
Firefox and Wikipedia: Crowdsourcing from start to finish
Crowdsourcing, Wikipedia, is a production model that uses the collective intelligence and knowledge and Volunteers around the net to solve problems, create new content and Developer solutions or technologies. Crowdsourcing is like finding a needle in a haystack, hay with helping you look.
Thanks to the internet we make great strides, Going Beyond the Limits of collaboration. If Before We Were restricted to small local villages, our home, neighborhood, work, etc.., We Can now collaborate with the world. Crowdsourcing and the Various web tools allow us to That. Proof of this is Wikipedia Itself, Which I Referred to several times. We created collaboratively, without any profit, the largest encyclopedia in the world [citation needed]. Now we crowdfunding through microfinance projects and we know That this is The Beginning of an Economic Change.
With These new changes, nobody else has a monopoly on knowledge in the way That Had The IBM computer in the 60's or Bell Labs until the year 1970 communications. Widespread Knowledge is now and it makes more sense to hide it Within the company. By crowdsourcing Can listen, learn and then Improve and innovate. It is a real advantage in a highly dynamic and competitive.
Of course, not all flowers. One has to have control. And this control can mean success or failure of crowdsourcing. Like Almost everything that is produced on the internet, crowdsourcing obeys Sturgeon's Law, a student of Murphy, That Which states 90% of anything is crap. But crowdsourcing in the Remaining 10% is worth it. Who knows this is the Mozilla Foundation and Its Firefox browser free. HAVING Despites the help of contributors to Hundreds of ITS Development, the improvement will air without going through careful testing. At least that's the theory.
On the other hand I see Linux and the Lack of a curatorial Contributions to qualify from the crowd. The Lack of a foundation's join forces and not create another distro Perhaps the failure of the penguin with crowdsourcing. I'm not putting down the system, just telling a crowd in the Same Way working together produces better results. But I May be mistaken - this diversity is what makes the community strong.
The amount of knowledge dispersed among us always exceeded our Ability to enjoy it. Crowdsourcing corrects that. Today we are Creating constitutions through the collective intelligence. "This is more than to sit and have a nice chat. It is to take a new mode of production to meet Increasing innovation and wealth creation to new levels." And it's not manifesting narcissistic me again, who said it was Eric Schmidt, Google CEO.
