I've been looking at the Amazon Mechanical Turk site, and I have to say that I am rather disappointed with the thing. Not only are the offers on the site for pennies, but they are asking for stuff that just does not feel right to me.
Samples of what I have seen:
One asked for are for people to visit a page offering free phone service for a month and copy the URL for the person - which if I understand it right gives that person the access codes for the person who gave them the information, allowing them to get more of the free phone service using a fake identity.
Another one wanted the people to join a forum then post glowing reviews for some site on that forum, a forum that was not at all related to the site's subject material, and then send out pings to that post on a ping service. This is something that is very against the rules for every forum I know of.
There are some legitimate offers, but I just got a headache trying to sort through the ones that felt off for one reason or another trying to find something that I would feel okay with.
Really lowers the possibility that I'll use the service again.
