Gigwalk pays iPhone users to do odd jobs

Gigwalk is looking to pay iPhone users to explore their cities, snap photos, verify locations and report back what they've found.

"There are millions of people out there in the world with smartphones in their pockets," said Ariel Seidman, Gigwalk's co-founder and chief executive. "They're consuming content, but we'd like to make people participants in a sort of mobile workforce. And that's what we do, we offer up small gigs that you can do on your way home from work, or before dinner with friends. And you can earn a little money in the process."

The whole process works by way of an iPhone app. Once a user downloads the Gigwalk app, fills out a short application to register themselves as a "gigwalker" and is approved, they are then able to view and choose odd jobs in their local area.- source La Times
