Cloud Sourcing? It's all Geek to Me

Cloud Sourcing? It's all Geek to me.

What is all this talk about cloud sourcing? It's all Geek to me... I am waiting for the for dummies version to come out! What I do know is that it is going to level the playing field of opportunities around the world. I think it is so hard to grasp because it is requiring me to think aobut something in another dimension. Now I need to think vertically as well as laterally.

What is a Cloud?

A global marketplace in cyberland. A place where smart people from all round the planet meet. Cool people like techies and geeks, artists and designers, movers and shakers, entrepreneurs and gurus, scientists, politicians and other suit wearing people. Another step towards leveling the playing field.

Cloud sourcing enables someone with unique needs to connect with someone who can deliver them. One person could be in Siberia and the other in tim buc two as long as they can both access the cloud. No longer does the sole trader have to stretch himself to the point of exhaustion trying to be expert in every aspect of his business in order to remain solvent. No one has to be a jack of all trades and organisations can get on with doing what they do best.

Great news for the third sector. Fundraising sharks can be outsourced by remote organisations freeing them up to do the fantastic things that they do best. Think of the impact on the environment. Think of what it will do for budding musicians trying to get found...Cloud Factor here we come!

Cloud sourcing will allow important global challenges to be discussed by in real time, and for new platforms to be established by the smartest thinkers around the world. Using clouds to outsource aspects of a project to experts in other locations will mean quicker completion and reduced expenditure for budding companies with big potential. Joint partnerships will develop from the most unlikely places and new products will find their way to market in record time.

There will be more collaboration and less competition and the world will come to know about new innovations as soon as they hit the streets. And best of all it's free. Bring it on!
