    Jonathan Zittrain: “Minds for Sale”

    Really enjoyed this long (50min) lecture on distributing tasks to humans (like Amazon’s Mechanical Turk) and how it relates to ethics, labor laws, and culture.

    Several companies were mentioned:

    5:00 - worth1000 / Aviary mention
    43:00 - Blip.tv mention

    Others - swoopo, LiveOps, mechanical turk, von Ahn’s esp game and re-Captcha (and how spammers give captchas to porn seekers in exchange for porn).
