Macrotasking is a type of crowdsourcing that is distinct from microtasking. Macrotasks typically have the following characteristics: *they can be done independently *they take a fixed amount of time *they require special skills Microtasking projects can also be small pieces of a much larger whole, which workers never see, while macrotasks could be part of a large, visible project where workers pitch in wherever they have the required skills.〔(Crowd Leader: Neil Perry - A Look at the Promise of Macrotasking - Daily Crowdsource )〕〔(Crowd Leader: David Alan Grier - Preparing A Good Crowdsourcing Taxonomy - Daily Crowdsource )〕〔(Download the top crowdsourcing infographics - Infographics - Umbrella of Crowdsourcing )〕 A macrotask might be the creation of an analytical paper or a video, or the pursuit of a contest like the Netflix Prize, while a microtask could include the editing of a document for grammar or transcription of a video. A number of sites connect people with freelancers who can fulfill macrotasks, like Fiverr, Elance and oDesk . Companies like Sparked and Radmatter have commercial products which can be used for macrotasking.
