What do you think about BP's crowdsourcing?

In order to get some ideas on how to stop the gushing oil well in the Gulf, BP did a lot of crowdsourcing. Do you think their techniques paid off? Crowdsourcing seems to be a really hot technique right now. What do you use crowdsourcing for? In what industries and departments (marketing, customer service, etc.) can it be used as a valuable tool?

To be effective, Crowdsourcing requires someone evaluating the inputs. How is BP going to evaluate 20,000 suggestions and who are they going to use to do it and what will their qualifications be?
