Microsoft Office Labs and Microsoft Research Asia have launched a site called Microsoft Task Market. The way it works is that if you have a task you need to get done then you can post it on Task Market and let people who can do the task contact you and bid for the piece of work. People who do the task can get paid through PayPal. The site is hardly popular at all. I actually stumbled upon it. I have never heard about it or seen any banner ads anywhere. This could be because the site is still under Tech Preview. Many other companies have creates similar sites in the past and only very few have survived. It will be interesting to watch Microsoft’s offering in this space.
