Has anyone here used the Turk for getting people to test their webapps yet? Or better yet, for apps which need lots of raw data which is tricky to collect automatically?
I bet you could actually use it to get people using a website on a permanent basis. To short-circuit the charging by the hour, just make the goal "complete this short survey on our site... Which is only available if you're a regular user."
Or how about this: create this content for $0.0X... do it while signed in, and receive recurring revenue (10% of our ad revenue for a given content).
