Crowdsourcing is a business practice that has become popular in the last few years. Since the term was coined by Jeff Howe author of Crowdsourcing: Why the Power of the Crowd Is Driving the Future of Business a number of valuable resources have appeared on the net. Below is a list of websites that provide valuable information about crowdsourcing that I regularly scan:

• Crowdsourcing – Jeff Howe – Jeff Howe coined the term “crowdsourcing” and published a book about the topic. The blog covers his insights about crowdsourcing
• Crowdsourcing Examples Wiki – A wiki started by Anjali Ramachandran with over 135 companies listed making use of crowdsourcing
• Business Exchange – A website that acts as a aggregator for a wide array of topics including crowdsourcing
• Crowdsourcing Directory - The CrowdsourcingDirectory keeps readers aware of news from the world of crowdsourcing
