I’ve been looking at ways of using reputable crowdsourcing services from within the UK. There are a few around, however I’ve always wanted to use Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). I first learned about MTurk when the company I work for was visited by the guys at Amazon Web Services (AWS), they discussed it as one of their many AWS offerings and had quite a funny story about a CEO of a company working as a Worker on MTurk while he exercised (don’t ask how). My partner then started using it as a Worker just for fun when I realised I have a project which could do with some large scale collaborative effort.
