offices (19). I agreed that collectively, within an organization, there are people who can help find a solution or help a business be more profitable, without being subject matter experts. Joining a crowdsourced job website, called Clickworker.com, and failing miserably to make more than ten cents, I don't think that worked in my favor. However, I see how Clickworker benefits from this. Clickworker is a website that provides services to businesses that need to complete large or complex projects at a lower cost. This is how it works. First, a company places an order for a job. As an example, let's say an organization wants to have a complete online business directory compiled into a single database. Instead of hiring a single person to research and complete this tedious and time-consuming task, it is distributed among more than 500,000 people around the world to complete the task at hand. In return, registered Clickworkers receive monetary credit for each task...... middle of paper ......n knowledge of people as a group. Companies in America and around the world have historically neglected this treasure trove of knowledge hidden in their workforce. I think it's safe to say that companies are realizing how powerful the crowdsourcing engine is. I think the driving force behind this engine is fueled by Facebook.com and Twitter.com.

Again, although Clickworker didn't work in my favor. That's not to say I can't find another crowd, to draw from as well, which is just as beneficial for me as it is for the website. It may seem at first that diversity and decentralization are unnecessary, but it was necessary to help Clickworkers find the special group of people needed to achieve the goal, in order to be profitable..
