amazon got it badly wrong with the Turk's launch!

it was obviously not going to interest anyone at the very slow speeds, it was also obvious that most pictures were inappropriate, so it made most sense just to hammer on "none of the above" like a rat pressing a lever.

amazon also neglected to consider that browser images can be switched off, which was rectified later. now, having made people play fair, the site cannot load the images quickly enough to justify waiting around to earn 3 cents.

so the site is now closed down for "maintenance". someone somewhere needs to have a good think. at the size and load speed of the images, even when the site is at full speed, i estimate you can earn 3 dollars an hour, tops, maybe. who will want to do that?

only people in asia, i should think, another outsourcing.
