Crowdsourcing (IT Glossary)

Crowdsourcing: Crowdsourcing means the outsourcing of your tasks to, well, a crowd of people. That is, you will have a loosely defined group, which will do the work for you.  Crowdsourcing takes away the task that you have to do in-house or by using an employee and letting a bigger group of people do it.  In IT, crowdsourcing usually involves the general public.
