Back in 2005 Amazon launched a new service Amazon Mechanical Turk, called Mturk for short. It’s a service to use what’s called “crowd sourcing” to accomplish tasks.  The Wikipedia entry on Mturk describes the service in detail.

The same day Mturk launched at mturk.com I created a parody page at the mis-spelled domain mtruk.com.  Click here to see the Mtruk parody as it appeared in 2005.
