The Art of Crowdsourcing

The Art of Crowdsourcing

I’m too lazy to write a blog post today.

Frankly, I’ve just been too busy.

Over the weekend, I brokered several joint venture deals, spoke at 34 different conferences, had 107 coaching calls, set up Wordpress blogs for the entire nation of Burkina Faso and conducted a 15-hour webinar on the subject of brevity.

Ok, who am I kidding?

I obviously spent countless hours on Twitter while checking my blog stats every three minutes. Do you realize how much work it takes to talk about all the great things you’re planning while never actually doing it? It’s exhausting!

That’s why I’m leaving the job to you.

Let me know your thoughts on whatever niche this blog is about.

Let me know your thoughts on thoughts.

Share you experience with thoughts or your thoughts on experiences.

What makes thoughts thoughtful, anyways?

Can you really experience a thought without experience?

Let me experience your thoughts by leaving a comment.

Comment on other people’s experiences by sharing something thoughtful.

You don’t need experience to share a comment, in case you thought about that.

Share our thoughts with other others so they can get experience commenting on shared thoughts and provide experience sharing comments as a thoughtful experience.

Don’t you think that’s a good thought? Share!

  • Between this and your No Money System I really feel like I'm getting nowhere following your advice. Keep up the work.
  • Jordan, like a few of the above, stumbled across your blog through word of mouth. Entertaining as hell, will definitely be back and have subscribed. :)
  • Appreciate the kind words, Jason. I'm still struggling to see where these "words" and "mouths" really are, though. Seems way too physically oriented for something that is essentially all online in digital cyberspace.

    Tell whomever's mouth you got the good words from that I said hello! (oh, and tell them they got a piece of dry skin peeling off their lip)
  • Brother what you have actually done here is hit on a very important point although very funny, this was actually very clever!
  • Thanks, James. I'm not necessarily knocking the model of the "crowdsource" post, but at least owning up to the fact it's done predominantly because the blogger had nothing interesting to write about that day. As long as you're brutally honest with yourself, you can work on being so much more!
  • My thought after thinking about it, is that I was thinking about what thought I had the other day, and from that thought, it got me thinking about reading yet another post from you Jordan. Thanks for the thought provoking session ;-)
  • Nice thought!

    Jordan:

    Stumbled upon your blog thanks to word of mouth advertising over the web. It seems people now are actually aware that you exist and talking about your glory in hushed whispers. Since my blog does not exist yet, I thought it would be best to read yours. Great thing is, you've got nothing to say at all, and that's just great about you. You write volumes, which makes no sense. Cheers.

    By the way, a little fairy told me you have a delicious sense of humor and do improvisational, stand-up comedy. That's another thing which is great about you: you make people LOL. It is a great skill to have in today's workplaces, when angry ex-employees try to gun you down when you are trying to pee in the rest-room. Your blog is fabulous, although I have not read your writing yet.
  • I'm glad to see my glories are being spread in the back alleys of the interweb. Now it's a matter of taking the Seinfeld model of a "show about nothing" and turning it into something. Once I reach that point, I'll surely fail. :-)

    Thanks for stopping by, Archan!
  • Hi http://notaproblog.com, at first I was looking for something else, but when I found this site, I was impressed. Nice post.
    You're hilarious, Jordan... I'll probably still get caught in the spam folder :) I love green eggs and spam, Sam I am...
  • Jordan, you're crazy as hell. Which is why we love ya.
    Now I've got my own issues today so there is really no time to be hanging around here on your post trying to leave a meaningful comment.
    Let's face it, you don't know that you don't know.:-)
    Got stuff to do, man. I'm outta here!
  • Sorry man, I'm just too busy for this. But I look forward to seeing you at my Saturday discussion post. Maybe we can pick this up then? :)
