Human Intelligence on the Web
I recently registered with Amazon's Mechnical Turk, which is an attempt to use human intelligence in web applications via a set of web services.
People are asked questions, or tasks, provide anwsers to the and when the responses are accepted they earn a little cash, with the general hope that those doing more work, earn more cash.
Why the odd name?

Of course it was later discovered each move was masterminded by a human inside the machine.
