Open Innovation & Crowdsourcing: Carnival
We will be hosting a carnival on open innovation & crowdsourcing in July for which bloggers and writers can now submit their articles (submission form).
What is a carnival? A carnival organizer assembles interesting blog posts and articles on a given topic, and then puts all those posts together in a blog post called a “carnival”. Consider some examples: example one, example two. Carnivals are a great way for bloggers and writers to recognize each other’s efforts, organize articles around important topics, and improve the overall level of conversation in the blogosphere. Carnivals come in edited “editions”, just like magazines or journals. The fact that carnivals are edited (and usually annotated) collections of links, lets them serve as “magazines” within the blogosphere.
Bloggers and writers can submit relevant articles for inclusion in the upcoming edition. The carnivals provide a nice aggregation of recent posts by bloggers on a given topic, and the host provides a level of editing and annotation that helps readers find posts they are interested in. Writers who submit their articles to blog carnivals are rewarded with traffic and exposure for their blog posts and articles.
Submit your blog article to the upcoming edition of Open Innovation & Crowdsourcing! Use our carnival submission form, or email the link to your article(s) to carnival@openinnovators.net!
