I came across Mike Krieger’s blog in the summer of 2009 while doing some research on crowdsourcing, particularly crowdstorming (large-group online brainstorming or idea generation efforts).
In this episode, we talk about what makes a good brainstorm, discuss a few recent examples of crowdstorming projects, including some of the shortcomings of current online tools and ways these design challenges might be addressed in the future, and learn about Ideas2Ideas, a very cool prototype in this area that Mike and his colleagues built while at Stanford.
Due to a minor glitch, Mike’s entry into the show (right at the beginning where he says he’s glad to be on, presumably) got lost irretrievably in the ether. Apologies.
