Okay, so you've caught some of the buzz and you're ready to do some real Crowdsourcing. Not the volunteer kind of 'vote-on-your-favorite-idea' polling or "invent-our-next-sneaker" contests that might be termed crowdsourcing-lite.

Over the past year, a fair amount has been written and tweeted about the need for "curated" crowdsourcing, a fancy way of saying that there needs to be management, methods and standards to guarantee the quality of crowd-powered outsourcing. An ambiguous crowd of various skill-levels can produce ambiguous results in much the same way that allowing everyone into a public pool virtually guarantees more splashing than swimming.
