Along time ago, I worked in a 1 hour film photo lab. Every so often, a randomly brilliant photo would come through on a roll of mediocre crap. If we made an exhibit of all the randomly great shots, it could have been museum quality, yet none of these people thought of themselves as artists....
I was at a place where they pitched crowdsourcing heavily in, yes, spring 08, and client didn't say yes.... Some of it may be good, much of it random or crap or somehow odd...
The paradox here is that maybe a smart startup with dedicated people could make it work, everyone else is trying to save $$, or rescue themselves from a slump... crowsdourcing is like a deux ex machina........ but you I think you'd need tons of time and editing to make it any work... maybe it would work for a short time, but not for long before it goes random and leaves the focus of whatever the business goal once was..
