Got an invitation from Getty Images to join their stockphoto library.

That really made my day! :)

sheepmarket

Crowdsourcing has reached some strange areas with experiments such as Sheepmarket.

10000 sheeps were drawn by about 7599 workers over a period of 40 days using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, a crowdsourcing engine. The workers were paid $0.02 per sheep.

Now, that’s a lot of sheep for $200!
