We discussed three ways that are used for crowdsourcing: disaster and disaster relief, government and businesses. We are see the business usage and may even participated in it. We talked about how businesses use it for development of new technologies and business improvements but many are using crowdsourcing for advertisement because it is relatively cheap. If you have Facebook and decide to like something, you are crowdsourcing through advertisement. That “like” shows up on your friends’ pages and then they may decide to “like” it too. It then shows up on their friends’ pages. Even if you just glance at your friend’s “like” you are seeing the ad. This equates to cheap advertising.

In the lecture, it was amazing how most people picked the same place and time for the meeting. I understand why most of us picked the commons area of Meggers Hall. The time is what I found to be the most amazing. I would like to know why that actually happens. The second experiment, the candy bars, was really cool too. The range of numbers did not surprise me but the result being so close did. When you think about all the possibilities the result is amazing. I think that we only touched the surface on the subject of crowdsourcing.
