The original idea is genius in its simplicity: crowdsourcing, a neologism, which combines the terms crowd and outsourcing implies that not only one person but a whole group of people, aka ‘the crowd,’ are asked to perform a certain task or develop ideas over the Internet.

The concept, which is also called swarm intelligence, is based on the belief that a group of people are smarter and more creative than a single person. To reach this kind of crowd online communities are the most useful tools.

These communities are regularly frequented by like-minded people with similar interests, talents, desires and ideas. This relates directly to the classic principle of division of labor – but it even goes a step further: Everyone can join, it doesn’t matter if the person is a beginner or amateur.

Actually, it is often the case that the non-experts are the ones who are extremely knowledgeable in certain specialized fields. People from completely different backgrounds often have completely new ideas and become very valuable in giving innovative new impulses.
