    Don't forget about Amazon's Mechanical Turk service which is *sort* of the same thing.

    I wonder if this idea can be extended. Using humans to perform computational tasks sounds to be a very interesting business model.
    Well then...

    This has been done before, and people get "paid" for it too: Amazon's Mechanical Turk

  7. THE SITE IS A FAKE by mgdupont · · Score: 0 · on Amazon's Mechanical Turk
    True: Amazon has a mechanical turk. It's at http://mturk.amazon.com./ FALSE: It is NOT at http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome, as reported by /.

    I feel like I'm trying to be heard over the "me too"s of a million AOL users. Why is this scam still on the /. front page?!?

  8. It's a Trap by mgdupont · · Score: 0 · on Amazon's Mechanical Turk
    I'm not going to http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome . That's not Amazon.com. If it were Amazon, then http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=www.mturk .com+site%3Aamazon.com&btnG=Search would return a hit.

    Why is this article posted as "news"? Is it April Fool's already?

    Well, mturk.amazon.com redirects you to www.mturk.com... seems to imply something.
