NowNow.com + Mechanical Turk (mturk.com) = Amazon.com’s new service
↓Continue reading after the jump↓
Amazon launched new service called NowNow.com. NowNow is a service that mobile users can use to find answers to any question via mobile email. When you post a question to NowNow via email (ask@nownow.com), our NowNow workers will surf the web to find the answer for you. NowNow workers are users who are being paid to search the web on your behalf. NowNow bypasses the need for mobile users to go to the web to find answers to questions as NowNow will send you an email with up to 3 answers to each question you ask
NowNow has partnered with Amazon.com company, Mechanical Turk (mturk.com), who has a community of users completing various tasks for numerous businesses
Currently, it is in beta stage and only available through an invite from current members of nownow.com. During this beta-test period, all questions asked will be FREE. However, after test-beta period nownow expect each question will cost less than $0.25
NowNow.com supports mobile device that supports email protocol such as Blackberry, Palm Treo, and other Wireless PDAs or Smart phones.
