Hey I do not think this in on the thread anywhere. But I have been doing work at home things now for a while. Such as surveys and other things. And I ran across this while searching for new surveys. It is called Mechanical Turk. Basically you find websites and get paid for each one. This is really neat. People ask a questions about something and you find them answers. This is ran by Amazon. I was just wondering if anyone has done it. Here is the website. Just let me know. I did not want to start if it was not legit.

I've been doing it for quite a while and only have about $1.50 in my account. I haven't requested payout so I can't personally say they pay, but others say they do.

There was an article about this program on Salon. I don't have enough posts to post a link, but if you google ""I make $1.45 a week and I love it", you should find it.

Also, someone did an interesting and not all that favorable project on this site for a graduate school dissertation. Google "thesheepmarket"
