The search for Steve Fossett
I mentioned the use of human-computer interaction to allow human eyes and minds to help computer programs help humans to do certain tasks in the initial post of this thread:
Classifying galaxies - citizen science
Once again a variation of this method is being used to help in the search for aviator Steve Fossett.
Amazon Mechanical Turk allows computer users to help in the search for Fossett. Follow the directions and you can be looking at very recent (a few days old) satellite imagery of a portion of the area that needs to be searched. You can either use the small pictures provided or you can use Google Earth to download and view a super-overlay. Then cut and paste latitude/longitude values to go to the spot within the imagery and search. If you do take part, please reply using the Mechanical Turk form, not the Google Earth Community Forum.
