Well, that is a relatively recent development, isn't it? Their initial success at least was due to crowdsourcing, wasn't it? Can you prove they are doing better as a result? Victor
That depends on your metric for "better". My point is that crowd-sourcing does not inherently imply "total and utter lack of organization or curation". That is what we call "uncontrolled chaos", and the only good thing that has ever produced is an incentive to form at least some structure so as to avoid it.
