Is it really new to wonder why some other group is invading “your&# space? Does technology “belong&# to any one group or generation?

When you have a group of people submitting their work, there is an awareness that it isn’t just one idea that will work, so the result is a higher quality of work. Crowdsourcing is an useful model because it can be used by any group for any reason. Thought Linkedin would have deserved a slot.
