Quarter stories

The imagination of Phil and Hillary never ceases to amaze me. Phil’s latest blog enterprise, Quarter Stories, is a great example of the madness that goes through their heads. Phil is paying Mechanical Turk users 25 cents each to create a short story based on any of the photo’s in his flickr stream.

I have been interested in the range of potential uses for Mechanical Turk for the past two years (including for the What We Are Saying project), and I love seeing left field ideas for utilizing the power of the masses like this.
