cambrainhouse.com - crowd-sourced software
« on: July 13, 2006, 05:19 AM »
interesting idea.. sounds tricky to pull off, but interesting.

Calgary-based Cambrian House, which launched officially on June 28th, is generating a lot of buzz around its “crowd-sourced software” strategy. The company allows members to submit ideas that could succeed on the Internet, then vote for their favorites. You can also submit code to Cambrian House, much like an open-source project. What’s more, users are awarded Royalty Points for their contributions: if a product is launched commercially and starts making money, you’ll earn a cut.
