It's very eye-opening on how wasteful the US has been in terms of gas use. What do you think about Hydrogen used as energy alternatives? Also, while I agree that the current gas crisis will spur innovation for cleaner energy alternatives, what will happen to the consumer in the immediate future if we were to see $6/gallon prices? I really enjoyed this article. It’s very eye-opening on how wasteful the US has been in terms of gas use.

What do you think about Hydrogen used as energy alternatives?

Also, while I agree that the current gas crisis will spur innovation for cleaner energy alternatives, what will happen to the consumer in the immediate future if we were to see $6/gallon prices?

A creative could ask himself "what about if I provide creative input not selected but yet useful to the buyer?" That is a point in your business model that is not sound to me. Thanks, Luca Hello Mike,

I am a sort of newbie since I have started working on collaborative innovation here in Italy since a couple of months and I have a question about creative commonplaces: how creatives going to have some control on buyer’s decision process?

A creative could ask himself “what about if I provide creative input not selected but yet useful to the buyer?”

That is a point in your business model that is not sound to me.

Thanks,
Luca

What a great job of outlining some of the key challenges facing managers who choose to look outside their organization to leverage crowds. Innovation has to be viewed in a very different light in the age of the Internet and there are companies like ours which hope to help users tap into large networks of talented individuals. crowdSPRING is a marketplace for buyers and providers of creative services. On cS a buyer posts a project, describes what it is they are looking for, names the price they will pay, and sets a length of time for the project to run. In turn, creatives from around the world submit actual work for the buyer to choose from. At the end of the project, the buyer chooses the work they like best. crowdSPRING handles file uploads, ratings and feedback, and worldwide payment to the winning creative. It's not just the P&Gs of the world that can leverage talent worldwide. We are trying hard to make it accessible to the small and mid-size business market through our model.
