Crowdsourcing: You Need This If You're an Offliner

Hey Warriors,

I"m sure some of you have heard of a few of these sites but I found a really neat article with websites dedicated to crowdsourcing. Basically, for anyone who doesn't know, you use the intelligence of crowds which studies have shown is higher than if any one person in the crowd did it. Very powerful stuff...

    great resources. never can get enough of that user feedback!!

    kluster provides a service i've invented in my head.. mastermind concept for web development projects. but they don't even offer a demo on their site! that always turns me away.. Anybody know of any other web services for mastermind collaboration and feature suggestions / feedback / critiques that works well for web dev projects? I use mindmapping a lot, but that's a simple version of what I know would be very useful for 'crowdsourcing' the dev brainstorm elements.

    There are also quite a few weaknesses of crowdsourcing. I listed nine of them in this article I posted on EzineArticles:
