What is MTURK?

Before you ask what is it, check out the site: MTURK

MTURK, stands for Mechanical Turk, it's from Amazon. What is it? Well it's outsourced work. That's what it is. You post a job that you want done, and people will do it for you based on the fee you posted. I've done a couple of jobs and let me tell you, don't quit your day job. You can't expect to earn much money from this. Really you can't. The most expensive job I did was to write a review for a video. The pay? $.75. The amount of work I put in? 10 minutes. That's effectively less then the federal minimum wage. But hey, who cares really?

It's not like I use it to make an actual earning. And it's not like I have anything else to do right now. Not a bad site really. I might use it for transcription later on. Might is the keyword.
