Anyone here have experience hiring people on sites like Mechanical Turk, oDesk, TaskRabbit, or Fiverr? What kind of stuff did you hire them to do, and how good were they at doing it? It seems like these services could be potentially quite valuable so I'd like to get an idea of what it's possible to do with them.
Experimental economists use mechanical turk sometimes. At least, were encourage to use it in the experimental economics class I just took.

I have used Fiverr to hire a professional voice actor to read short messages. For small scripting jobs or Photoshop work, I have always found reddit's r/forhire subreddit useful.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
