Mechanical Turk accepting third-party work ()

The Mechanical Turk team is looking for more work. If your business could benefit from artificial artificial intelligence, let me know privately and I'll forward the details on to the appropriate people.

We could probably benefit from intelligence of any kind. Can the Mechanical Turk run a multibillion dollar megacorp?

My god, there's a brilliant idea, submit your major business decisions to MTurk and wait until enough submissions converge on a viable solution.

Assuming you could make it completely anonymous

The results are completely anonymous when they're sent off to the requester. The only key that's maintained is for QA purposes, and AFAIK once a submission is accepted/rejected that key is deleted.

Ooh, I just thought of an idea though - use MTurk to optimize interior design. "Which of these colors looks best?" "Would you rather have the couch here or here?"
