MTurk Looking for Another Missing Person

In the future, is this going to happen every time anybody goes missing? Once again there is a Mechanical Turk project to help search and rescue find a missing person:

Help Find Steve Fossett
(kdawson, Slashdot)

An anonymous reader invites us to join in the hunt for the missing Steve Fossett using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. DigitalGlobe, one of Google’s imaging partners, has acquired new high-resolution satellite imagery of the area where Fossett disappeared on Monday. The public can now go through this imagery and quickly flag any images that might contain Fossett’s plane. Flagged images will receive further review by search and rescue experts.

I did some for a few minutes. I don’t think I found him.
