Crowdsourcing is huge for startups and companies who need to get their product out to the public. It has helped companies build a fund so they can get their product out there and well established companies use it for getting information from their customers. One of the best examples for this is Indiegogo. Indiegogo is a start up campaign that helps small companies get the funding that they need in order to continue on with their research, marketing, or just building more units. Crowdsourcing is a practice used by almost every single company that has been made, the publicity and public opinion can be extremely beneficial to the company and it has proved its worth time and time again. If you think about it, all of the news organizations use crowdsourcing because everyone has a camera and video camera with them at all times so basically we are all photojournalist. News organizations know this and if you are in an area when something important happens and you capture the moment, there is a good chance the news channels will ask you if they can use your media.
