Your views on Crowdsourcing on the internet for doing work?

[froggyboy604]

I like Crowd sourcing on sites like Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, YouTube, Twitter and other similar sites since there is always fresh content to read and watch from many people with different points of view instead of a select few who work for a blog or website.

Definition of: crowdsourcing

Obtaining information from the general public about current events, products and retail establishments. For example, if a natural disaster strikes an area, locals can capture and upload images before a professional news crew arrives. In addition, rather than hire a professional poll taker, using a Web site or blog to ask for public opinion may be the fastest way to generate comments and suggestions. See user-generated content.

Only problem is sometimes you get false information.
