3 minute per URL seem like a whole lot, it seems more likely that 7k of them were trash and were removed within seconds. A simple automated script/iframe with a "tinder" like interface of yes/no/maybe seems like the way to go here. Spend seconds on most, then minutes on the maybes.

You have a pretty optimistic opinion of the kinds of automation an intern gets.

Good point. Perhaps if you gave the job to a CS major, or an engineer they'd invest the time in making a time saving interface. But an intern in Chase? I doubt they would have the skills or the knowledge to do that.

Like, load the list into stumbleupon. I'm thinking about 6 seconds for trash, 30 seconds for interesting. So, maybe about 2 work days to remove trash and a few more to complete the rest. Could be done in less than a week.
