YouTube Helps News Sites Crowdsource News

This is pretty interesting - YouTube makes a foray into helping *news organizations* crowdsource news. Steve Grove says:

that YouTube Direct would allow “news organizations to control their experience with users while tapping into the community where that activity is taking place, which is YouTube.” http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/business/media/17youtube.html?_r=2


Crowdsourcing really is becoming the business model of the future.
