This way passionate and talented contributors are bound to opt in from the hundreds of millions of candidates on the web. Some evidence to support this comes from the interesting post on Wikinomics about LinkedIn’s Crowdsourcing Dilemma. [...]

IMO, it's not a clear distinction between amateur and professional in this case. Yes, money is the traditional form of compensation for doing a professional job, but being recognized within a community of professionals as a skilled practitioner has real, tangible value - especially when your work is out in public for all your potential clients to see, along with the raves and ratings of your peers. As a professional network where most people surf with a purpose, LinkedIn has more tools at its disposal to reward contributors than meets the eye. For example, LinkedIn could sweeten the pot by doing some search engine optimization to ensure that the most prolific and highly-reputed translators came up first in site searches. It could mean more "real" jobs at higher rates from a broader range of clients. Great piece, Kevin. IMO, it’s not a clear distinction between amateur and professional in this case.

It never hurts to ask for help from volunteers, so I don't blame them for that. It's more interesting to me that there are over 300 people who really care enough to make/join a new twitter hashtag because of this. There really are more important things to take a stand on imo.
