I just discovered Amazon Mechanical Turk! I haven't done any work yet but it looks ah-MAZE-ing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing Internet marketplace that enables computer programmers (known as Requesters) to co-ordinate the use of human intelligence to perform tasks that computers are unable to do yet. It is one of the suites of Amazon Web Services. The Requesters are able to pose tasks known as HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks), such as choosing the best among several photographs of a store-front, writing product descriptions, or identifying performers on music CDs. Workers (called Providers in Mechanical Turk's Terms of Service) can then browse among existing tasks and complete them for a monetary payment set by the Requester.

"Hire a husband/butch" has been around for a while.

I, however, would like to see a "hire a wife" business develop.

I am in serious need of one to provide a girlie touch to my home.

Maybe a good tool for job seeking.

"The Human Rights Campaign’s ninth annual Corporate Equality Index shows an unprecedented 337 major U.S. businesses earned the top rating of 100 percent, up from 305 last year"

Heck, if we're out there looking... may as well look at folks who treat us equally!

Good Luck Job Seekers!
