That is great. Mecahanical Turk offers a way to basically do a "product panel" for cheap enough that it's worth it just for the value of marketing the product to the participants. Clever.


What people say they'll pay in the future when asked in a survey, and whether they'll actually pay that, or anything, when the time comes are two different things.


Very clever.


I will be using turk for some research/marketing of my own.
