| Abstract | Crowdsourcing via information and communication technology platforms has grown exponentially in recent years (Howe, 2006a; Howe, 2006b). Significant numbers of skilled individuals with discretionary time are available online, thus providing an opportunity for recruiting workers through the cloud (Hoßfeld et al., 2011). A variety of crowdsourcing applications have emerged that allow the harnessing of distributed intellect for problem-solving. Crowdsourcing platforms such as Threadless, iStockphoto, or InnoCentive (Brabham, 2008a; Brabham, 2008b; Brabham, 2010), are characterized by innovative co-creation in specific domains (Zwass, 2010), such as photography. Micro-task crowdsourcing markets, such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (Ipeirotis, 2010b) or Microworkers (Hirth et al., 2011), in contrast, foster another paradigm where small and simple tasks are transacted at low cost within small chunks of time (Kittur et al., 2008; Kittur et al., 2011). |
