April 7th - Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing, according to Daily Crowdsource, "is the process of getting work or funding, usually online, from a crowd of people." A popular example, that was listed is, Wikipedia. Which is a free online encyclopedia, where anyone who uses it can write in it.

There are many ways for people to crowdfund, one being Kickstarter. It is a "public-benefit corporation based in Brooklyn, New York which has built a global crowdfunding platform focused on creativity. The company's stated mission is to help bring creative projects to life."

Not only is crowdfunding for creative ideas, but to also help out people in need. For example, I've seen people request crowdfunding for their special trips and even their tuition! I think it is amazing how we can help a dream come true for someone.
