CROWD FUNDING
Inspired by crowdsourcing, crowd funding refers to people pooling their money together, via the Internet, to support the efforts of other people. It has been used for a variety of things from disaster relief to citizen journalism to political campaigns.

This topic discusses the latest trends on crowd funding as it continues to evolve.
