Blog #1-Wisdom of Crowds

     I do think that a website with crowd sourcing built in is something that would take off in our society now a days.  I believe that looking at a product and seeing that many people really like it and it is popular would make myself or anyone want to buy it.  I do not believe that I have ever purchased something off a website with crowd sourcing built in.  I do think though that I would defiantly use a website with it though.  I don't really see the harm in that because it is just showing the popular demand what exactly is "hot" right now.  I think that itunes is a online store that shows the most popular songs and what exactly is popular at a specific time.  I think that itunes is the best one out there at this particular time. 

I think that I would trust the crowds more in advice to love.  I think that one person can be biased on their thoughts and on their opinions, maybe one specific instance has changed their thoughts about the topic.  With crowds you can get many different views and different opinions of what people think about the specific situation you are involved in, then you can make a decision after hearing several different views.
