Mechanical Turk is cool. Anyone used it for something interesting?
I'm using it to have people find proper citations for scientific papers based on press releases. It works really well.
Has anyone here used Mechanical Turk for any interesting projects?
- epi0Bauqu 19y agoHow much is it costing you?
- rms 19y agoI put in $.30 each and I got two different, correct answers in less than 10 minutes, formatted in an anchor tag as I asked. One was really good, they gave a full proper citation and I had asked for a bastardized citation. I have a bunch of different requests in for similar tasks now from $.05 to $.15, none of which have been answered in the 45 minutes since I posted them. Edit: $.3 was way too much, I got an answer in 50 minutes at $.05.
- brianlash 19y agoI used mechanical turk to get keyword suggestion tips for an AdWords campaign. It was a quick (seriously cheap) way to see what search terms people would use if they were looking for a company like mine via Google. I paid $5 for more than 450 responses out of 15 people.
