Crowdsourcing represents the act of a company or institution taking a function once performed by employees and outsourcing it to an undefined (and generally large) network of people in the form of an open call.Jeff Howe, Jun 2006

I have devised a set of proposals of a web-site which will cover the 2008 United States Presidential Election. Basically I have outlined a web-site should be set-up which enable voters around the world (in U.S. and around the world) to cast a cyber-vote on a cyber-election, and at the same time make a donation in equal measure to their chosen candidates campaign fund, & candidates chosen charity. I would propose that as little as a dollar can be donated, with not maximum limit, and the donation proceed are divided equally between the voter chosen candidates campaign fund, and their candidates chosen charity. I would propose that “The Dollar Debate” is on-going poll in the lead-up to the Election Day, showing which candidate is the most popular in the polling. I would propose there are live statistic showing the different rates of the Democratic, Republican, & Independent candidate, the days, weeks and months leading up to election day in November 2008.
I thought of this Idea, several years ago, but only now in the year of the 2008 Presidential Election will people be interested in my proposed cyber-election web-site. I think I just woke up one day, and wrote a tiny synopsis of the proposed web-site on the back of a cigarette packet. I have a habit of going to sleep and waking up in the middle of the night with a good idea or two. I have worked in the field of innovation for several years, and I would like to prove that big business could and should work in collaberation with charitable organisations like Unicef, christian aid more pro-actively etc. Hopefully before I met my maker I will help in that cause!
How are you going to get people to vote in this poll?
There are all ready tons of sites that do polling. Including just about every news site.
Ya!
agre has been done, you need a new angle
Individuals can only donate limited funds to any one candidate. Seems to me like it would cause a nightmare scenario for you to comply with reporting to authorities and breaking down individual donations of a dollar or so. Wouldn't that create an overhead issue?
I don't think this is a project suitable for crowdsourcing. Where is the money ?
Got something to say?
