The Rise of TurkLoader
46 ideas were pitched tonight at Startup Weekend Columbus and yours truly was on the list and made the to 17 or so of stuff to make.
The idea I presented was TurkLoader, an easy to use front end interface for amazons mechanical turk. Mechanical turk is a wonderful tool but its interface is less than desirable. Generally you have to make tasks in a brute force primitive way and it could be done alot easier and simpler.
That was genesis of the idea which of course has since morphed into an iphone app and slew of other things but so far its been really cool. It was totally wild to see turkloader picked and then you see 6 walk up to you and say.. ok dan whats next, that was a totally awesome. The idea was laid out, poked out, ripped apart, re-engineered, reborn, killed off, mutated and more.
But now, now we really have a good idea of what this thing is and what we need to make.
