Crowdfarming: the next big thing?
Apparently, this is not a joke. Springwise has a piece on a website run by England”s National Trust that turns the running of a farm over to the crowd cloud:
We saw Tweetland taking social network activity and applying it to a game environment, and now My Farm has taken an online gaming model and applied it to the real world. We have no doubt that bridging the gap between online and offline worlds will continue to provide a rich source of innovation for businesses far and wide!

Where will this end? (I’m not sure I want to know. . . .)
