First impression of Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a service where companies can employ humans to do small tasks computers cannot. You can sign up to perform these different tasks, and get paid to do so.

Tasks can for example be to decide if a link is categorized properly, choose the best photo to go with a text, create small video blogs and much more.

It all sounds good except the payouts are very low. Often 0.01 $ to perform a task that will take you a minute or two.

I have signed up and performed a few task so far, earning me around 50 cent but I am not too optimistic about the Mturks earning potentials.
