I copied this quick comparison of consulting websites from another blog here. I have used some of this sites in the past, both to obtain work and to distribute work. I copied here for future reference.

I had seen this go up a long time ago and thought it was an interesting concept. I was reading a blog recently that mentioned it again under another context and it reminded me of the service. Amazon's Mechanical Turk is essentially a work-for-hire program for very small units of work, labelled Human Intelligence Tasks or HITS. From the employee side of things it allows for a great deal of flexibility. One can pick up the jobs on the fly that are easy for them do and provide as much variety as one would like to feed their ADD disorder. From an employer side of things, crowd-sourcing mundane tasks that can be split into simple units of work could result in greater throughput. However, my opinion on the matter, having never actually participated in the service, is that the overhead of managing the tasks could outweight any benefit gained via the increased throughput.

 Interesting none-the-less.

Not sure I will use the programming side much, but the graphics side looks interesting to me. I have yet to dedicate a great deal of time to becoming good at graphics creation/editing, but, in the past, I have found tutorials like this a quick way to get up to speed.
