Check out this video/podcast from Wired Magazine's Jeff Howe, who also happened to author the book "Crowdsourcing".

Not surprisingly, the theme is crowdsourcing. Not only is the notion of outsourcing work that was formerly done by a salaried employee to the masses relevant to any business, but it's also relevant to the meeting designer.
How can aspects of meeting design be crowdsourced? And when is it appropriate to dedicate a problem to a meeting, and when instead should the problem become a crowdsourcing opportunity (i.e. using your own crowd, or the faceless virtual "crowd")?
Also note the interesting presentation components that make this more than a talking head. Pics and video in sync with words, dealing with literal examples and metaphor. Good stuff.

Although it is not named "Crowdsourcing", the September issue of The Dance Current magazine looks at dance in the digital age. There are a few pieces about how this is impacting the dance sector in terms of dissemination of work, dialogue, and teaching. It is really interesting to see, throughout your blog, how different sectors of our global economy seem to be converging on the same set of thematic investigations.
Hi there
I work at Wired and interviewed Jeff about his book for my podcast/blog. If you're covering the topic of Crowdsourcing, you might find it interesting. It's episode 19 at:
