This is probably the first time I've ever cares about "crowdsourcing" or his ugly brother-in-law, "cloudsourcing". However, I can't help but imagine why they want a solution for this. Seems like Cold Wat-era spook stuff.



It was a hiring contest/game to get people thinking about Instagram and find some talent, rather then a search for better system like Netflix's contest.


Would any of this help with producing a panorama? That's all I could think of.


Probably not, as then you have to play around with blending two images and (un?)distorting them to match each other's shape. That's the hard part - people tend to take pictures in order rather than randomly.
