Crowdsourcing Your Life For 1 Year

Dan Brown is a vlogger who started his career showing how to solve a Rubik’s Cube (a video now with close to 16 million views).

That was in 2007 and since then he’s built a fan-base, which he is using now to do a new show: ”Dan 3.0″ where he’ll ask them to make a decision for him on what to do for a whole year.

Sure this is a publicity stunt and just another reason to do a show (remember the dot com guy? Slight different but awfully similar, and that was back in 2010 when Dan Brown was just an infant!), but the core of the project is really about crowdsourcing decision making.

For that, rhere are plenty of this types of services out there (even Q&A ones can do the trick) for those with some trouble making decisions. Even Twitter can be used to help you make decisions, using your social graph.

But what about this project, what you make of it? Will it be just for fun or show another light on the power of the crowd?
