On another note and what I find more interesting is the people that come up with this one idea and that crowdsourcing is a myth and doesn't really happen. I guess I understand what they are saying but without the helping hand of these other people to get the product out their or started then the product really wouldn't happen. My question too you who all read this is do you think a product could make it without crowdsourcing these days or do you think it can be done the old fashion way. By which I mean just advertising and word of mouth which is quote on quote crowdsourcing but was never called it back then which is why I don't find it that amazing.

One Small Step For Man One Giant Leap For Consumers
It seems that either I've been living under a rock for the past two years or that crowdsourcing is just normal slash not that exciting. It would seem to me the logical thing to get people together and share ideas and then allow that idea to explode by using the internet to get the product well known. I'm not saying it isn't a great thing, just I think it is as amazing as everyone finds it to be. Think of it as something that would happened regardless of someone thinking about it or not. Better yet it does just happen whether think of it or if we don't.

I definitely think that products can be marketed the old fashion way by advertising and word of mouth. "Crowdsourcing" is just a new added benefit to promote or create a product, all advertising is not reliant upon it. Although, it could certainly help.
