Week 4 question exercise

Social media music video project
http://oneframeoffame.com/
Referring to either the above website, or another you know of that employs crowdsourcing, briefly discuss whether or not you think this is innovative in terms of social media, produsage and crowdsourcing. Refer to concepts introduced this week in the lecture and course resources.


By visiting http://oneframeoffame.com/, I think this is innovative in terms of social media, produsage and crowdsourcing.

Crowdsourcing is a distributed problem-solving and production model, problems are broadcast to an unknown group of solvers in the form of an open call for solutions. In this site particularly, it gets people from all over the world's attention and participate in this activity. The music video which consists a number of web users' best shots from their own webcam, will help the owner complete the whole music video. The innovation is that the source video is up on the site, but it links users from different places with different nationalities and ages, the video is updated every hour, there will be more and more users come and join this innovative social media activity.
