Turkers power Amazon Remembers

December 3rd, 2008 at 11:42 am. 0 comments.

Amazon released their iPhone app, Amazon Mobile, and it includes a feature called Amazon Remembers where you can take a photo of any item in the real world, and it is uploaded to Amazon where they match the item in your photo with items from Amazon or their affiliates, and then let you know once they do. The “amazing” part of this is the use of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk program to analyze and offer suggestions for the photos.

I fully expect some interestingness to come out of this.

Someone favorited this photo this evening thouroughly making my day, a full 18 months after I took the photo. I’m happy that I got to see it again and did fully laugh out loud (LOL)
