Crowdsourcing: Everything Old is New Again, and Again
Ochman for Advertising Age describes an interesting example of crowdsourcing reporting: 'Back in 2000, a tiny brand named Jones Soda used its website to ask its mostly teenage customers to suggest new flavors, names and labels and let other customers vote on which should make it into stores. Since then, they've posted 676,653 user-created labels and become a nationally distributed brand with a cult following.' Article here.
