Amazon Mechanical Turk Crowdsourcing Marketplace for Work - The Cloud Show (CS&A Series)

video Cloud Labor
Summary Founded in 2005, Mechanical Turk, is a mature example of Crowdsourcing; where tasks are distributed in seconds to a workforce of over a half a million people in 190 countries.
Description Mark Pratt "The Cloud Guy" interviews Vice President of Amazon's Mechanical Turk service, Sharon Chiarella, about where the name comes from, who uses it, and why.

They think you will find interesting to hear how the service is helping people who wouldn't normally be able to easily work a 9 to 5 job get meaningful work that fits their schedule while acquiring new skills.
