Looked at an interesting report today that showed the payments to CloudSpokes contest winners over time. According to the graph, it took 297 days after launch to pass the $250,000 mark in total prize winnings. The CloudSpokes community has now surpassed half a million dollars in winnings just 187 days later -- a 58% increase in the rate of earnings! (validating my rusty math is left as an exercise for the reader). This is great validation of how rapidly enterprises are adopting crowdsourcing, and a testament to the skill and innovation that CloudSpokes community members bring to bear every day solving real-world development problems for businesses. Congratulations to the #1 crowd-in-the-cloud and onward to $1,000,000!
