Kickstarter

If I had 500 dollars to spare and I could only buy 3 items on kickstarter.com,  I would buy these three things. The first thing I would buy is the Remee - The REM enhancing Lucid Dreaming Mask  , for 140 dollars which lets me customize the look of it. The Remee is a night mask you where that gives you Lucid Dreams. It's awesome. That leaves me with 360 dollars. The next thing I would buy is Laser AppTag for iPhone, iPod, Android. Real Shooter Gaming! for 120 dollars, I get 4 of them! It's a real life RPG and you can play with your friends. That leaves me with 240 dollars left. the last thing I would buy is the Ramos alarm clock which cost 220 dollars. I get the product before anyone else and shipping is free. Now I have 20 bucks to spare!

Crowdsourcing

I went to Dictionary.com and searched up the definition of crowdsourcing. It said, to utilize (labor, information, etc.) contributed by the general public to (a project), often via the Internet and without compensation. I went to a website about the snacks on Wikipedia and read about Walker Crisps flavor competitions. This is crowdsourcing because the public gets to submit ideas in on what new flavor they should come out with. On http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/news/903478/Builders-Breakfast-crisps-wins-Walkers-flavour-competition/ I read that the winner of the contest was called Builders Breakfast. This flavor tastes of eggs and beans. I also some that had the flavors of German Brotwurst, American Cheesburger, and many more; all in one chip. Amazing!
