Arguably the most profound result of the growth of the internet, and by extension, that of on-line journalism, is our ability to immediately connect to any “whats” or “whos” that we seek. And more and more often, the availability all of this information comes courtesy of collaborations, such as Crowdsourcing.
Jeff Howe apparently coined that term in Wired in 2006, writing that the access to technology now means “the gap between professionals and amateurs has been diminished.”
How do I know this? I read it on Wikipedia.

Wikkipedia is now the 7th ranked website in the world, that one-stop source for term papers everywhere, the bastion of on-line collaboration.
