I watch Amazon. What caught my attention this week is that Amazon asked users to vote on “What ZIP code should AmazonFresh deliver to next?”

AmazonFresh is Amazon’s grocery delivery service in Seattle area.

It’s fascinating how Threadless becomes a legend as an user innovation leader. Crowd sourcing is really taking off and it’s hard to imagine how far it can go, technologically, economically, and/or politically. The thinking behind crowd sourcing is the true driver of technology innovation; it’s the real power beneath stock & supply-demand balance; and it’s also another format of making a democratic decision.

List of crowd sourcing examples (I’ll keep adding the new ones. If you know any other example, please comment):

• Threadless: the first web company who leverages designer’s work & votes to produce Tshirts, and sell back to designers and their networks.
• Mozilla’s Concept Series: call for anyone in the world to share their vision of how they would like to see the browser, or the web in general
• Ryz: lets users submit graphic designs for a high-top sneaker model
