Starter Topic, Sept. 8th

Please read the first two paragraphs of this Wikipedia article about Amazon's MTurk for my starter on Sept. 8th. We'll be discussing how MTurk can be used for research and some of its inherent benefits and drawbacks. Bonus points if you can find out where the name comes from.
