Crowdsourcing is the practice of getting information or input into a task by using the services of a large number of people, typically on social media sites and the internet. People involved in crowdsourcing either work as paid freelancers or on a voluntary basis.
One of the most accomplished crowd-influence start-ups is Waze. It’s an app that permits users to report traffic jams and automatically gives directions for the best route to take.
Waze crowdsources information by measuring drivers' speed to determine traffic jams and by asking users to report road closures.
It’s a great app that proves a dedicated crowd is sometimes all a company needs.
