We had different companies presenting their concept of crowdsourcing to us and showing us how they utilize crowdsourcing in their own companies. For those of you who couldn’t make it, here are some highlights from the night in the videos below. Please note that the videos are in Hebrew.

Next Monday, March 15th I am organizing a crowdsourcing session at the famous GarageGeeks venue in Israel. We have four different companies presenting their own view of what crowdsourcing is all about and how they utilize crowdsourcing in their own companies.

We have four speakers:

Doron Reuveni, CEO of uTest - Doron will discuss how online communities are disrupting many industries; will compare the differences between a mob, a crowd and a community; will provide a sneak preview of a live demo of a not-yet-launched version of uTest’s software testing platform.

Yael Elish, VP Product & Social Media Marketing, founder of Waze –  Yael will discuss CrowdSourcing and the use of social and gaming elements to engage users to build a viable service and reach critical mass.

Yaniv Golan, Co-Founder & CTO,  Yedda –  Yaniv will discuss CrowdSourcing and the First Thumbs War – as a creator of a Web service, you’d love to have the crowds breathe life into your service through participation. Yet, what happens when the participating crowds have their own opinion about what your service should be like?

Dan Rimon, Co-Founder,  AllRise - AllRise is an online public courthouse where users can sue anyone and charge them with anything. The crowd debates the case and the crowed decides the verdict. Dan will present how they came up with the idea of AllRise and show examples of some cases that were opened.

We’ve also got a special surprise for you – an iPhone app that will make its special debut during this night showing us geeks (even Blonde geeks) how to maximize our networking skills with the crowd around us.

Please confirm your attendance on the Facebook event page and don’t forget to BYOB (or BYOW for that matter) Sharing is caring :-)

See u all there!
