Dolores Labs is doing a bunch of cool work finding ways to distribute tasks to large numbers of people online.  As well as crowdsourcing tasks, they also check the results to make sure that you get higher quality results than using unmoderated tools like Amazon Mechanical Turk.

The Dolores Labs blog has an interesting post up about their recent partnership with Gambit (a payment tool used in online games and communities).  Together, they’re offering Facebook gamers the opportunity to earn in-game credit for doing real work through their platform.  This is a timely service, especially given TechCrunch’s recent indictment of offer platforms as scams. Now you can earn your in-game wage by completing simple tasks instead of signing up for credit cards and Netflix accounts!  We like this innovative way of reaching and rewarding large numbers of people via Facebook.
