[http://www.crowdsourcingdirectory.com/?p=57 How to create Hot Crowds]: Hot Groups are high performing teams with six characteristics:
#Hot teams are highly dedicated to end results and are enthusiastic
#They thrive on ridiculous deadlines and high hurdles to take
#They are irreverent and non-hierarchical, playing around and having fun
#They are made up of widely divergent disciplines and abilities
#They use an open and eclectic workspace
#Hot teams connect to the outside world and look for solutions outside themselves
