Though as I look into my crystal ball it looks like <a href="http://www.shopghia.com" rel="nofollow">socially responsible retail</a> is gonna be huge in 2008 too :) Christy such is the price you pay to be a trendsetter. Though as I look into my crystal ball it looks like socially responsible retail is gonna be huge in 2008 too :)

As for how crowdsourcing compares to traditional outsourcing, I think the StudioNow model creates value by making the process more efficient. The customer doesn't have to find an editor and interview them and the editor doesn't have to create proposals and contracts and worry about billing. P.S. monetary reward is not the only reward. The key is to provide compensation that is acceptable to both parties. Nathan, what do you mean by “frontline all your social media trends”?

I wonder how the Crowdsourcing alternatives like Studio Now or http://www.domystuff.com/ compare to more traditional outsourcing methods like e-lancing and Craigslist. Interestingly enough and randomly enough too...Horsecowpig had a recent post against the free and potentially exploitive nature of some types of crowdsourcing. In counterpoint to her, it just enhances customer service. Alternatively, traditional questionaires for studies often have some monetary reward. Keep on rock'n!

Why would it have to be in print? Having to wait 4-7 days for the info might actually have added value, because you would get more news that was outside the crazy news cycle. Jax why not frontline all your social media trends or there should be an X type posts? This is some advice I could take myself. Just a thought. Great post!

We certainly agree that 2008 should be a big year for the editor. Please drop by our blog any time. http://blog.studionow.com It is largely focused on video editing right now, but your philosophical ruminations would always be most welcome.
