That's a terrific strategy, and that's one of the strategies we apply internally here at MobileWorks.
Treating folks fairly is the right way to get good results. We tie price to task time explicitly, to prevent folks from underpaying MobileWorkers. This makes sure results come back right.

- technotony 14y agoThat is great. When I was working in the Philippines for a microfinance bank I had some of my staff work on mTurk during a quiet period and they were barely earning local minimum wage from the work. Croudsourcing work like this offers great potential to get income into poor, under-employed regions of the world but we can't let it become the new sweatshop.
