Shogun_Assassin Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Mturk.com Amazon is giving you a chance at three cents, per set of pics that you look at. All you have to do, is look at a set of pictures, and pick the best one that correlates to a given address and business name. The money is put into your Amazon.com account, and can then be transferred to your actual bank account. There are people who don't have jobs and can sit on there all day, and make 150 a day. Also they aren't trying to scam you, if something happens and you lose all your HIT's as they call them, they give you an Amazon.com gift card. This is for all the lazy shits that can't find a job, but have enough time to sit on the 12oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun_Assassin Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Also, the pics are terrible, so much so that they are funny. And sometimes you can catch some graff in some of them. Nothing i would be too excited about, but some of it is funny. like when you are looking for a business, and all the pics are of the side of a UPS truck.

I.C.Shadow Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Well, lets say you make six dollars an hour, which is ten cents a minute... Can you make money like that? Or is it slow and it takes a while to cycle through pictres. I could sit here with a blunt and a pot of coffee and be happy to do it for 6 bucks =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun_Assassin Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 it all really depends on how fast your connection is, in all reality, i have gone through probably 20 or so in a minute when i use the computer at school. But if im at home using dialup, itsa not that fast. so it depends. but tere are only 6 or so pics on every page, so it doesnt take that long. and most of them are the box that says the business isnt represented in these pics, so im sure if you wanted you could jst go through clicking that and see where you end up at the end of the day. im just givin people the info.

Dick Quickwood Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 i know what i'll be doing for the next few hours wait, this was in the agreement: I authorize the electronic transfer of funds, and if I request services, for Amazon Mechanical Turk to debit my bank account. what does it mean to debit one's bank account?

Guest fr8lover Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 i like that almost 100% of the pictures don't "best represent" the business listed. were these taken drive-by from a computer or something? i didn't bother to read the FAQ.

GucciCondom Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Eh this shit isn't worth it. It took me like 15 minutes to accumulate 107 HITs by stopping the page before they loaded and randomly clicking. I didn't know you actually had to match the right photo, its now telling me some have been rejected. Fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it looks like the service they provide is "Give us your location and we'll drive by it at 30 mph and snap 5 or so pictures with a shit digital camera and pay someone 3 cents to pick out the best one.
