Amazon Mechanical Turk
How cool is this? Amazon has a new service where you can get paid for doing tasks online. Or if you have a job that needs doing, you can put it up there and pay people to do it for you.
Right now most of the tasks (called HITs) are paid for by Amazon themselves. They're trying to match addresses with pictures of buildings, so they're paying people 3 cents each to look at a group of pics and choose the best one that matches the name and address of the business provided.
I've done about 30 of them, 3 of my choices were rejected, 13 were approved, and the rest are still pending. So I've got $0.39 in my account, which I can have transferred to my Amazon Gift Certificate account or directly to my bank account!
Since I love reading, I'm perfectly happy to use it for Amazon GCs.
I figure a half hour or so a day and I've got myself a free book once a month -- SWEET!
