Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing is a sourcing model in which individuals or organizations obtain goods and services. These services include ideas and finances, from a large, relatively open and often rapidly-evolving group of internet users; it divides work between participants to achieve a cumulative result. The word crowdsourcing itself is a portmanteau of crowd and outsourcing, and was coined in 2005.[1][2][3][4] As a mode of sourcing, crowdsourcing existed prior to the digital age (i.e. There are major differences between crowdsourcing and outsourcing. Some forms of crowdsourcing, such as in "idea competitions" or "innovation contests" provide ways for organizations to learn beyond the "base of minds" provided by their employees (e.g. Definitions[edit] The term "crowdsourcing" was coined in 2005 by Jeff Howe and Mark Robinson, editors at Wired, to describe how businesses were using the Internet to "outsource work to the crowd",[1] which quickly led to the portmanteau "crowdsourcing."

Crowd funding
Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, typically via the internet.[1] One early-stage equity expert described it as “the practice of raising funds from two or more people over the internet towards a common Service, Project, Product, Investment, Cause, and Experience, or SPPICE.”[2] The crowdfunding model is fueled by three types of actors: the project initiator who proposes the idea and/or project to be funded; individuals or groups who support the idea; and a moderating organization (the "platform") that brings the parties together to launch the idea.[3] In 2013, the crowdfunding industry grew to be over $5.1 billion worldwide.[4] History[edit] Types[edit] The Crowdfunding Centre's May 2014 report identified the existence of two primary types of crowdfunding: Rewards-based[edit] Equity[edit] Debt-based[edit] Litigation[edit] Charity[edit] Role of the crowd[edit] Crowdfunding platforms[edit] Origins[edit] Press
Auge del Crowdfunding: Hacia una cultura más compartida
Parece que con esto de la crisis financiera el fenómeno del "crowdfunding" - también conocido como financiación colectiva o micromecenazgo- se está convirtiendo en una interesante alternativa para todos aquellos creadores que quieren ver sus proyectos culturales hechos realidad. El crowdfunding es una nueva forma de conseguir esa financiación que necesitan determinados proyectos para salir adelante, pero con la característica de que se realiza de forma colectiva. Si gusta o interesa una determinada idea, la gente dona una cierta cantidad de dinero que se destinará a la puesta en marcha de esa iniciativa. El proceso es bien sencillo: Una persona tiene una idea (cualquiera, si es buena, vale: un libro, un cómic, un CD de música, una película, un videojuego...) y la expone. Los cientos de usuarios verán esa idea, y si les gusta la apoyarán económicamente con la cantidad que mejor les parezca. ¿Dónde y cómo hacer crowdfunding?

La Tahona Cultural, web de crowdfunding para proyectos culturales - Publicaciones
EDICIONES ASIMÉTRICAS SE LANZA A LA BÚSQUEDA DE MICROMECENAS, en estos momentos de incertidumbre para la edición impresa y los proyectos culturales, con el fin de publicar el libro LA DIVA EN CASA, la arquitectura del glamour, de Adam Bresnick. Se trata de una una obra muy sugestiva que aborda con originalidad un tema hasta ahora inexplorado. El libro cuenta la peculiar condición de las casas donde moran las divas, para las que se desvanece la separación habitual entre lo público y lo privado incluso en la intimidad del hogar. Son espacios domésticos insólitos, acordes con la personalidad desbordante y exhibicionista de la diva, cuyos elementos arquitectónicos usuales se transforman hasta convertirse la casa en el marco que realza a la diva y el altar donde se la adora. En el texto se repasan diferentes épocas personalizadas en diversos casos. Para hacer más accesibles al lector todos estos universos de la intimidad, la publicación cuenta con abundante material visual.
