The Value-add of Crowdsourcing: For me, the two biggest reasons to include crowdsourcing in your strategic design of community building or contests are: Crowdsourcing invites diversity by encouraging anyone with an idea or interest to participate.

Most people will tell you that learning how to effectively monitor (or listen to) what’s being said on the web is the beginning of social media success. The increasing popularity of social networking, blogs and social media on the web validates this point nicely – People are talking about you, but is your nonprofit listening to them?
