Menial Tasks=Books/Movies/Music

I recently found out about this website www.mturk.com which is associated with Amazon.com. I have yet to use it myself, but apparently you complete menial tasks for Amazon credit. The amount you make per task seems to range from $0.05 to $0.50 or so. Many of the tasks involve writing a paragraph, answering a question, or identifying an object in a picture - the basic idea is that there are some things that people can do much better/faster than computers. Serena told me about this site, and said that in 2 weeks her supervisor has built up nearly $100 in credit at Amazon.

Anyways, it seemed like the type of site that all of you might be interested in, at least conceptually. Also, "free" books are always good.
