Rant: When Social Media and Crowdsourcing gets hijacked by Groupthink

By Naren On June 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I read a guest post on Cult of Mac today that got me hopping mad. Written by Adel Zakout, it’s basically about how Apple’s new campus needed to be crowdsourced. Oh, and incidentally, Mr Zakout owns a crowdsourcing platform (and a mobile app) [...]
