Hi Nic,

Thanks for a great post. Sami's analysis of the incentives that drive folks to participate in crowdsourcing is right on point. We find that our Solver network is motivated by much more than the monetary rewards of winning a Challenge. They have also told us they are motivated by the competition with other Solvers, recognition in the community, as well as the desire to work on a challenge or problem that matters, or will make a difference in the world.
You might find the Solver Profiles on our blog interesting, we've had a variety of responses from Solvers already in the few weeks since we've launched our blog, telling us why they got involved in the first place and what it means to them.

What about ArtistShare? (www.artistshare.com) They have been financing recordings through the artist fan base for years now.

Hi Nick, you should go to a Creative Coffee Club morning in London sometime and catch up with those folks, some of them were involved in the Million Penguins collaborative wiki novel and they have some great stories to tell.

Cheers, Alex
