Hello everyone, I'm putting together a proposal for AoIR Copenhagen to do a roundtable discussion panel on the topic of crowdsourcing (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing). So far, I have rounded up three of us to form a panel, but would ideally like to add one or two more people to this discussion if possible. I know there are very few people specifically studying crowdsourcing, but if you are researching various aspects of any of the exemplar cases of crowdsourcing (e.g., Threadless, iStockphoto, InnoCentive, user-generated advertising contests) or if you are researching issues of digital labor, open source production, Web 2.0, or other related issues, I'd love to hear from you. Since it's a roundtable panel, I'm putting together the narrative proposal, so if you're interested all I need from you is a) your name/institution/contact information and b) a few sentences about what you're researching that is related to crowdsourcing. Contact me off list before February 5: daren.brabham@utah.edu The three of us committed to this panel proposal are: 1. Jeff Howe, Wired magazine - he coined the term "crowdsourcing" in 2006 and has a book coming out about crowdsourcing 2. Karthika Muthukumaraswamy, Temple University - she is researching instances of crowdsourced journalism 3. Daren Brabham (me), University of Utah - I'm researching motivations of the crowd in crowdsourcing applications as well as capabilities for the model beyond business applications cheers, db --- Daren C.
