    Search For Steve Fossett Expands To Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (via TechCrunch)

    By booyaa | September 9, 2007

    I think this is a cool idea for a good cause. I think Amazon’s intro does a better job of explaining what happened and what needs to be done.

    On Monday, September 3, 2007, Steve Fossett, the first person to fly a plane around the world without refueling and the first person to fly around the world in a balloon went missing in Nevada. An airplane he was flying failed to return. No one has any idea where he is.

    Through the generous efforts of individuals at several organizations, detailed satellite imagery has been made available for his last known whereabouts.

    You’ll need a Mech Turk account, but these are pretty easy to get. Now I’m gonna go use up my brainmeats and help find Steve!
