I mean--it WILL get you extra money, but at far less than you would make even minimum wage. And it's not like you're a slouch at performing these kinds of tasks, either. Good to have some real-world experience for context on the usefulness of this as a money-making opportunity. As a concept, though, of distributed workforce, it's still very intriguing.

And so I went to Mechanical Turk and provided varous services, mostly typing addresses into html forms, based on street-view pictures for Amazon's A9 street view service. I also helped with the Jim Gray project, but he was never found. So I probably worked 20-30 or so hours for $70 dvd set. I am never doing that again. The $70 dvd set was: Director's Label Series Boxed Set (Mark Romanek, Jonathan Glazer, Anton Corbijn, Stéphane Sednaoui) (2005) As you know, I am on a tight tight budget - and could not afford to buy a stupid $70 dvd set that I wanted very badly.
