Crowdsourcing Lessons

First of all thank you goes out to everybody who participated. I really appreciate your input and big thanks for nothing to everyone who didn't.

So what did I learn from my little experiment? That if you make it easy enough to participate lot of people will and you shouldn't worry about the ones who don't. Also that James Surowiecki is right, the result will be smart and selfless.

Then again the most important lesson would be the way people communicate in today's world. I received responses on these following channels : blog comment posts, e-mail,Twitter, SMS, Skype, phone calls and vis-à-vis conversation.

Lesson being that no matter what's the message, if you want to get it across, you shouldn't ignore any of the channels. Go where the conversation takes place.
