If you follow search and rescue in the news you might know that Steve Fosset, billionaire adventurer is missing in the Neveda Desert.
You can now actively participate in the search.
Go to http://www.mturk.com/ and get registered then search for the "Steve Fossett Missing: Help find him by searching satellite imagery" HIT.
You need to have Google Earth installed on your computer. Follow the directions. I wont repeat them here because they are detailed nicely on Mechanical Turk.
This approach was used in searching for the missing sailor and famous Microsoft Computer Scientist Jim Gray earlier this year.
I will talk about the technology later but go ahead and get started!!
