1. Cambridge House http://www.cambrianhouse.com
Launched in 2006, Cambrian House began as a crowdsourcing community using a wisdom of crowds based approach to discover new business and technology ideas. Today, Cambrian House focuses on developing companies which emerged from its crowdsourced discoveries. The Cambrian House portfolio includes Gwabs™, Greedy or Needy™, FilmRiot™ and the Chaordix™ crowdsourcing platform.
2. Jeff Howe’s (coined ‘crowdsourcing’) blog. All about crowdsourcing http://crowdsourcing.com
He also has a very interesting easy-to-understand (or dummies-friendly?) video about crowdsourcing at http://crowdsourcing.typepad.com/cs/2008/07/crowdsourcing-t.html
3. Kluster™ is a collaborative decision making platform, a turbo-charged collective wisdom machine that turns questions into answers, ideas into opportunities, and analysis into action. Unlike conventional "crowdsourcing" that pits people and ideas against each other, Kluster™ brings them together. Our approach is based on real-world group decision-making models, taking into account individual influence and participation. Not only does Kluster™ identify the best ideas, it actually improves them in the process. http://www.kluster.com/
