Hi Jeff,

I thought you might like to know that I got the job.

This is my first week in post and I am really enjoying it - lots of challenges!

Thank you for your post and your supportive comments on my blog. I have no doubt that they helped - if not by impressing my interviewers, then certainly by boosting my confidence before I faced them!

Cheers,

Joanna.

I had a superb crowdsourcing moment when I was first asked to write for the Economist. The last para reads:

And, if you need a final point to consider, something practical to show the power of the social network for changing the way teachers learn themselves, just re-read this debate. It was written one Sunday afternoon, with collaboration over Twitter, the mobile phone and web-based social networking tool, with teaching colleagues from the US, Scotland, Canada, England, France, New Zealand and Australia. Has social networking changed the face of educational methods? Almost certainly: yes.

Read what they came up with here:

I don’t understand how you can write this post praising the concept of crowdsourcing just hours after criticizing someone for changing his mind in favor of a “crowdsourced” run for president.

I’m all for collaboration except when the contributions of others aren’t singled out and acknowledged (by name!). This is the problem I have when people talk about making a published versionthe of Wikipedia. The contributors who created and edited entries have a stake in their intellectual creations and it would be wrong to “cheat” them out of some of the proceeds of the sales of such a book. Or it should all go to charity.

But that’s a larger topic. The real question I see is when does the contribution of the crowd become large enough to warrant a co-authoring credit? I think it is great when people freely give and share their knowledge and experience but their contributions should be honored and acknowledged. Or you could end up in civil court! (worst case scenario).

Ah, a secret project! Can’t wait to hear it, Jeff. Of course, I’ve tried to tap a few “friends” (well, they feel like friends, after following them online) like you, Cory Bergman of Lost Remote, Al Tompkins of Poynter in trying to make a Forum on the Future of Journalism (http://j2forum.yuku.com) happen as well.

Friends or not, I invite anyone here to drop by and help me see if this baby can fly. Sure, it’s an “old-fashioned” electronic forum, though it has its 2.0-ish elements (you can have pic slideshows, embed video - I think;-) - but mainly it’s intended to provide another place to discuss these very important issues.

I hope;-)

“If you don’t have friends, you can’t do that.”
How very true! Yet, there are surprises sometimes. So one should bear in mind the French proverb that goes :”Ne crache jamais dans un puits, un jour tu auras soif et tu en boiras.” (Never spit in a well, one day you’ll get thirsty and you’ll (have to) drink from it.”
