\"Crowdsourcing\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is no denying that the evolution of the internet and its expansive effect on human interaction is incredible. Chris Anderson, the curator of the TED Conference, offers that by bringing people together, the internet creates a phenomenon he calls \u201ccrowd-accelerated innovation.\u201d One of these innovations comes in the form of crowdsourcing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The concept of crowdsourcing, outsourcing tasks to a crowd,  has hugely taken off in popularity. The main principle is this: bringing creatives together, offering more ideas, options, and skills in order to generate higher quality content and\/or products at affordable prices. In this way, all participants of crowdsourcing, the buyers and crowdsourcers, gain from the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the umbrella of crowdsourcing, there are several types such as crowdsource design, crowdfunding, microtasking, and ideas crowdsourcing. One unifying quality is that they are solutions-oriented wanting to offer customers better value for their money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all trends, there are distinguishing elements that can set some apart from others. With so many crowdsourcing sites popping up, these are some that are effective in saving you money while bringing the right people together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.      <\/strong>Flightfox<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does booking the right flight itinerary take up much of your time? With destination, date, and airline variables, finding the best flight can result at high costs. Flightfox<\/a> uses a contest format to come up with the best fare that the flight experts can find. With customer details in hand, these travel professionals compete for three days with the winner getting 75% of the finder\u2019s fee that the traveler pays Flightfox. For a fee as low as $34, customers have the research work done for them with a how-to guide to finding and purchasing the winning ticket. Flightfox\u2019s services can result to as much as 25% off ticket prices. For example, a ticket from New York to Sydney with a Flightfox itinerary saved a young traveling couple $1000. That\u2019s enough to keep customers happy and regular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
