Jim Fowler has been at the forefront of crowd sourcing for over a decade.  First, he was co-founder of the cloud-based contact management service Jigsaw, before selling it to Salesforce.com for $175 million.  Then, he was with InfoArmy, and finally today with Owler — a free, competitive intelligence service.
