crowdsourcing: use the crowd to get out of the bubble and influence your ideas. #sxswi
Beckman: Specific questions yield higher quality feedback from crowd.

Beckman: Way to connect with people in a very 'authentic' way – that's what is most exciting about doing projects like.

Trapani: Danger of echo chamber with people who are just interested in this topic. Saw this at Lifehacker all the time.

I think there's a lot of people in this room (like myself and @KSuzJ) who are here by accident. Should be across the street at the Hilton for the
"Not the Same Old Story" session but thankfully TO peeps are liveblogging it :)
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 4:45:48 PM
There's a lot of Threadless fanboys/girls here it feels like :)

Trapani: "I'm an introvert freaking out in front of you here."

Wow the backchannel for this session is vicious! Love it.

Q: Has anyone else here found where crowd-sourcing worked to a point, but needed outside influence to develop?
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 4:55:18 PM
A: (Beckman) Didn't get a lot of response to her content until she Tweeted it. (What does this have to do with crowd-sourcing?)

crowdsourcing: project only as good as its leader (curator) @
ginatrapani. good curator doesn't let crowd push them around. #sxswi
Q: Not everyone has access to tools, how do you manage that?
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 5:01:09 PM
Hosteltler: Comes down to watching audience, not the tools.
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 5:01:56 PM
TweetDeck as a tool to filter out signal from noise with searches.
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 5:02:29 PM
Bekman: Wake up in the morning and look at Twitter before anything else (oh god me too)
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 5:03:12 PM
crowdsourcing: tools not important in curating the crowd. Just know where to watch. #sxswi
Same Old Story session looks like it's getting into chat about Curation vs. Content
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 5:05:21 PM
[Funny enough, I'm curating Tweets right now using ScribbleLive to make a semi-comprehensible liveblog]
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 5:07:12 PM
Johnson: "I want an intern" and got a great response. Best intern she's ever had.
by AdamSchwabe at 3/14/2009 5:08:47 PM
Bekman: If you're trusting people to curate content, you need a track-record or engage them with expectation that it's not just enough to do it, but to do it well.

Q: When to let go of the reigns?
