What an odd idea

Check out this new service being facilitated by Amazon. It's interesting... and weird... and interesting...

The idea is that there are tasks which are simple for a human but difficult for a computer. These tasks can be farmed out en mass and done cheaply by humans... The current task up on the website is to determine the actual artists name from an album title (I'm not actually sure why that one's hard for a computer... I suppose duplicate album titles is the problem... )

I am a little curious at how fast you could go through them... maybe I'll try tonight ;)
