Social Media Brings Open Source Sensibility to the Web
,----[ Quote ]

Freedom to Search
,----[ Quote ]
| Free software may stem from a research
| mind-set, where shared results lead to a
| greater good. Free software has built this
| around various licenses such as GPL and
| BSD. The ideals behind free software have
| spread beyond software and can also be
| seen in other areas: documentation, game
| mods, illustrations, music - all types of
| content creation can be licensed in an
| open and free way.

Crowdsourcing vs. collaboration: Which yields superior results?
,----[ Quote ]
| The Wharton authors' research suggests a
| hybrid approach that looks something like
| this:
|
| 1. Convene to discuss the problem and
| objectives.
| 2. Give everyone a clear assignment:
| return with a specific number of ideas,
| by a set deadline.
| 3. Work individually on the problem.
| 4. Regroup to present the ideas and
| formulate a plan of action.
