DESCRIPTION
Three trends are defining the future of crowdsourcing: 1. Input: From asking community members to create original contributions to curating contributions that already exist elsewhere. 2. Output: From searching for the best contributions from community members to synthesizing contributions from community members into something new. 3. Focus: From crowdsourcing content like ideas, designs or software to crowdsourcing things like money, products or services. For more, see: http://gauravonomics.com/future-crowdsourcing-trends/

Three Trends in Crowdsourcing
Three trends are defining the future of crowdsourcing: 1. Input: From asking community
members to create original contributions to curating contributions that already exist elsewhere.
2. Output: From searching for the best contributions from community members to synthesizing contributions from community members into something new.
3. Focus: From crowdsourcing content like ideas, designs or software to crowdsourcing things like money, products or services.

Three Trends in Crowdsourcing
The two polarities on each of the three axes have a unique relationship with each other: 1. Input: Ideally, create some original
content, then curate social web content, then ask community to create derivative content.
2. Output: Ideally, synthesize contributions into something new, but also disproportionately reward best contributions.
3. Focus: Ideally, first crowdsource content, ideas or software, then crowdsource money, products or services.
