I just copy it here for your reference.

I have known some websites who are using crowdsourcing to do software development as well. I would share a possible use case of crowdsourcing is in the professional areas such as accounting, law, financial planning, consulting, etc.

Nowadays people pay a premium to get such kind of services. In some cases, after you pay $$$$ or $$$$$ you get an answer of a simple No. From my point of view, this is rediculous and those so named professional firms charge too much for a too little job. This is a chance for us to challenge them.

If there is a crowdsourcing provider who can leverage all possible untapped talent in a certain professional area, you may pay $$ to get a solution, which would be a great money saver.

I would be happy to discuss this further with anyone who is interested in this idea.
