The Amazon Web Services team provides a nice update on the Mturk process on their blog. http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2007/09/update-on-the-s.html
It seems that people have been good at spotting small planes in flight but I have yet to see a crash site.
I also read a nice article in the San Jose Mercury News. http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_6895267
discussing the overall search effort.
I think it would be good if they could provide other types of data, say from the ARCHER system that CAP has been using which has hyperspectral imagery. I wouldn't provide this to the masses but qualified persons which is something you can do in Mturk.

The main problem with hyperspectral imaging is that you have more than three "colors" (more like 200), so every pixel has 200 information in them (as opposed to the usual 3, RGB) and so it is very unlikely that human based systems like Mturk would help in that respect.
Also, do you know by any chance if the data is being recorded ? (I don't know myself).

hey Igor
I do not know if the imagery is being recorded. That would be nice to know.
