Imagine the power of hundreds of thousands of skilled workers available right now-- immediately at your fingertips to solve business problems that are otherwise difficult or unsolvable through standard computing or with traditional employee or contractor resources. This is the power of crowdsourcing and Amazon Mechanical Turk-- the ability to insert thousands of human beings into the compute cycle in a way never before thought possible.

The vast connectivity of the Internet and proliferation of computer skills has produced a global market for paid business workers compensated in micropayments (pennies per task.) Whether it's human image recognition and classification to improve the quality of an online retailer's catalog, software testing, transcription of information captured in scans, meta data descriptions for collections of information, or thousands of other business problems, crowdsourcing can be a game changing solution for your business.
