Beggar in Spain

I’ve read a lot of the stories posted in www.mechanicalturkdiaries.com but I think I am not like any of those. I am both a turk and a requester. I am a turk as I love to see what kind of HITs other requesters make and I also get ideas, but I’ve only completed 3 HITs so far, including this one, so I am a lurking turk… so as to say. I am a requester too, a time buyer if you will. Posting a HIT and seeing how it gets done in minutes is addicting. The best HIT I’ve seen is one about calling a restaurant with Skype and asking them if you can bring your own wine. I’ve created HITs for people to create funny ideas, jokes, paragraph of nonsense text, articles and what not.
