Raise This Up is a new type of web site that leverages user-generated
content.
Rather than having an editor pick the articles you read, you
and other members choose and promote articles anywhere on the web.
Articles are submitted by a registered users. Others click "Raise This
Up" to vote for the article if they find it to be interesting or useful. This
process allows the good articles rise to the top, providing interesting content
to all readers.
"Raise This Up" is a form of crowdsourcing.
"Crowdsourcing" is a term coined by Wired magazine writer Jeff Howe and editor
Mark Robinson in June 2006. Crowdsourcing relies on multiple volunteers who use
their spare time to create content, solve problems, or do research.
