I see where you'e going with this, but I might change your examples a little bit. There's a very fine line between just a simple Google search and a lot of what you're showing there. It might make sense to demonstrate something that requires more human intervention. The file conversion example is a good one, and maybe expand more on assembling trip itineraries, etc. IOTW, things that actually would take up a lot of time, where the value of the site would be more clearly demonstrated.

Hmm, that's really good feedback. In reality, most of the things people have used it for have been truly complex multi-hour projects.

We'll update the examples to make them more robust. Thanks!

Nice service! Seems similar to Amazon's Mechanical Turk. You can find more examples here as well: http://aws.amazon.com/mturk/#bus-case
