Lab Book Club: Jeff Howe
Jeff Howe, on crowdsourcing special-needs parenting
/ Nov. 12, 2008 / 10:47 p.m.
As we’ve noted, we were pleased to have Jeff Howe, the author of Crowdsourcing, as the centerpiece of our first Nieman Journalism Lab Book Club. He gave us an hour of his time for a video interview, part 2 of which will be posted on Monday.
Jeff wrote a very personal post on his site today about his developmentally delayed son, Finn — and, in a way, about crowdsourcing. It’s worth a read. I suspect it’ll end up being as powerful a piece of evidence of the power of crowds as the anecdotes in his book.
Thanks so much for this, Josh. The experiment has already been a success in that I’ve discovered people in the same situation as us. More to come, we hope.
