Grandsourcing

July 26, 2008 - 4:45pm — Shayne Packer

I coined a new set of words, “Grandsource”, “Grandsourced”, “Grandsourcing”. It’s a derivative of outsourcing and crowdsourcing.



grandsource |ˈgrand-sôrs|

verb

obtain (goods or a service) from a crowd or group of grandparents : grandsourcing products and services from other grandparents | [as noun] (grandsourcing) grandsourcing can dramatically improve the quality of products and services. | [as past participle] (grandsourced) we have grandsourced this project.

I love the idea of bringing

I love the idea of bringing the wisdom and knowledge of so many wise and good people, who happen to be grandparents, together - to accomplish that which is most important to all of us here --- connecting with our grandchildren.  I like your words.  Just think... in a few years, perhaps they can be "officially" recognized in Webster's. 

We here, can do this "together":-)

Warm Regards

That is such a cool

That is such a cool definition!  You should see what it would take to get it into the Webster's Dictionary or other Dictionaries.  You need to grab a Wikipedia page about this too... before anyone else does.  And, what is that other new "authority" site that just came out?  I will have to dig that up for you if you don't already know.  I would coin this word and the Grandparent Project there too.  Again, BEFORE someone else does it and claims the rights to it.  :)
