Has anyone heard about this? It is awesome! You can actually automate just about anything. Read about it and let me know what you think.

| I had not heard of this, but I am going to test it out to see if it works. I am going to see if I actually get paid. Results to follow... |

I have not heard of this until now. I am interested in the APIs though. Does anyone use an API?
I want to develop and on demand work force! |

It's definitely an interesting concept, I'm not sure as to what the acceptance rate might be but it is something worth watching.
I look forward to hearing from anyone that has used it and if they are happy with the results.
Cheers

| I actually signed up and took a couple of the surveys. I did get paid. Now, it wasn't a whole lot but I did get what they promised. I think I got .50 for one and .27 for the other. There are higher paying things but I wanted to see if it worked...and it did. It is definitely interesting. |

| Well that is good to know. I actually am trying to use it to automate two of my sites so that I can be able to check them about once a week vs. once or twice a day. I will let you know how it goes. Is there anyone who already uses this service? |
