I just joined up with Amazon's new Mechanical Turk. Mechanical Turk is Amazon's attempt at not only creating a new community of bloggers and workers, but also their way to implement what they call an "HIT" which stands for "Human Intelligence Tasks". HIT's are tasks that could be done by computers or search engines, but need a human touch...hence HIT's come into vogue. The tasks involve everything from doing difficult transcription to simply identifying text that appears in a picture. And obviously the more difficult the task the more you can get paid for completing it.
But I ask, will Human Intelligence Tasks or HIT's really catch on? It is yet to be seen, but for us bloggers who love to write, it sure seems like a great outlet. Find here to find out more.
