The term “crowdsourcing” often conjures up the image of a guy or gal in terrycloth bathrobe at computer doing simple, perhaps somewhat creative tasks over and over again. There’s power in the crowd, by virtue of it being a big crowd, but this isn’t high science. Until now. Anthony Goldbloom, who we featured on our recently launched 30 Under 30 list, is harnessing what might just be the best and the brightest minds in a grand crowdsourcing experiment. He is aiming to get people to answer some of the more complex riddles in academia and big companies.

"A few decades ago, contemplating launching a global campaign like this would require that I own, say, a television station or two. I hadn’t even unpacked my television set when I moved to Chapel Hill to take up a position as an assistant professor in University of North Carolina. Heck, I didn’t even have a landline phone. But, “I” wasn’t just an “I.” Due to my academic and personal interests, I was connected to a global network of people ranging from grassroots activists in Egypt to journalists and politicians to ordinary people to programmers and techies. My uptions weren’t just cursing at a television set –if her arrest had even made the news in the next few days. I could at least try to see what *we* could do, quickly. Concise, fast, global, public and connected was what we needed, and there is nothing better than Twitter for that."

Aggarwal and Mazar discovered that people in more collectivist cultures – in which individuals see themselves as interdependent and as part of a larger society – are more likely to offer bribes than people from more individualistic cultures. Their work suggests that people in collectivist societies may feel less individually responsible for their actions, and therefore less guilty about offering a bribe.
Crowdsourcing began as a way to tap the wisdom of crowds for the betterment of business and science.
