By the time I inserted myself most of the big dogs were already there and some of the grousing was well under way.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I noticed a measurable bump in my personal connecting after I jumped in, so I can’t argue with the effectiveness of the activity even though the value is still TBD.<BR/><BR/>Harnessing a purposefully tailored online community with focused objectives for gathering feedback, I firmly believe, is one of the holy grails of Online Social Networking.Don Laffertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18282373595275515597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29262515478447144.post-24148121561312914512008-01-30T09:11:00.000-06:002008-01-30T09:11:00.000-06:00Beth and Warren,Thanks for keeping this conversati...Beth and Warren,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for keeping this conversation going. Warren, I'm going to update the post with your community sourcing definition. I think you nailed the intangible "benefit" in your definition.

In less than a day, it was very well populated. And it was because of Community Sourcing. If Crowed Sourcing is defined as outsourcing a task to an undefined, generally large group of people (Wikipedia), then I would define community sourcing as the next level: outsourcing a task to a connected group/community for the benefit of that community. Therefore, it is no surprise that all of these great minds working feverishly completed so much so quickly.<BR/><BR/>Great topic!Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330430037744070023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29262515478447144.post-32972039542292047672008-01-29T20:17:00.000-06:002008-01-29T20:17:00.000-06:00Zena, I'm so glad you blogged this.

People were concerned with feeling left out. People were worried that others had selected them into lists where they might not be appropriate. The "metadata" on the experiment was even more revealing than the effort itself. <BR/><BR/>I'm thinking community sourcing and friendsourcing are still very valid tools. I use Twitter for that purpose all the time. I ask people for LOTS of things. Still intend to do so. <BR/><BR/>But this specific project? It was interesting seeing how fast it was polarized and polarizing.Chris Broganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846579129507779564noreply@blogger.com
