I would like to see what the % of projects that are not outsourced fail for comparison. My guess is that bad projects with bad management contribute to both, more-so than outsourcing. We just completed a large outsourced project that would

A bit off topic, but I have been doing medical startups for 10 years now and can provide a little insight into your questions. Directly helping people with technology is extremely satisfying and I would definitely recommend it as a career.

Love it, but the real way to test this is to present the monetary choice itself. For example, they could pick to get payed 1 cent with 100% certainty or 25 cents with 4% certainty. (although I don't think mturk supports this natively) EDIT:

Yep, exactly correct. For my sites I use Valueclick, Adsense and I am always trying something new. You will also find that the best network varies on the placement on your page, so try a few combinations out. You might check out pubmatic.co

I live in the Bay Area, and those #'s look pretty close to me for a minimum, penny-pinching baseline. When it comes down to it, you can almost forget about the money ycomb is offering. The money is NOTHING. It is all about the contacts and

I concur. I went from never using inkscape to having a not horribly embarrassing logo in about 2 hours. Learn how to use the gradient tool, it is key. You can see what I did here: http://carhuntr.com/index.html
