Almost every post here on the hot topic of crowdsourcing becomes an active debate and in the middle of it is our own creative freelancer and designer, Laurel Black.
So we decided to do an interview with Laurel on some basics of crowdsourcing (from her perspective) for those who haven't been following all the comments. (Listen to it here.)
We started with a few basic questions:
- What is crowdsourcing?
- Who is upset about it and why?
- How has it affected (is affecting) your business?
- How are you dealing with it?
- What advice do you have for others concerned about it?
Add your own perspective too!
