Wikipedia and crowdsourcing are really interesting in how it allows people to contribute online.  Although Wikipedia is not the most reliable source because of this, it does end up being at the top of most search engines when searching for just about anything.  Crowd sourcing is also a really interesting thing that has led into things such as crowd-funding on websites like Kick-starter.  These websites allow people to raise money for specific causes by advertises them to the public to contribute money to the cause.  I think that places like crowdsourcing and Wikipedia are important in keeping the internet open for the people and having people’s voices, causes and contributions be known.
