Anybody else know about Mechanical Turk?
I just read about it in the Christian Science Monitor (online) this a.m.
http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome

It's run by Amazon.
There are jobs that cannot be done by computers.
Human Intelligence Tasks, or 'HITs'.
Many only pay a few cents. Not sure why anyone would put out the effort for that kind of pay.
Some pay more.
Interesting concept, anyway.

Anybody done this?
