A platform for content creation with Mechanical Turk (e.g. stories, discussions, question/answers). Here are some screenshots :

If anyone has a fresh startup/website that needs content to get it off the ground, I can be of assistance.

I am the creator of the Rails/Mechanical Turk integration gem Turkee ( http://www.github.com/aantix/turkee ), and am an expert with Mechanical Turk and content creation. Drop me a line if you'd like to see a demo, jim.jones1@gmail.com . I do contract work on the side and live in San Francisco.

Ported my app DJPad to Playbook (it outsold Android and WebOS immediately). No port for iOS as they already have really great dj apps that are much more mature than mine.

I built a Posterous export tool that backs-up all your Posterous data (posts, images, video, audio) after the Twitter acquisition announcement.

I released an iPhone app called the nap app which allows you to power nap effectively, making sure that falling asleep is taken out of the time that you actually want to sleep for. So you want that 20 minute sleep? The nap app makes sure you get a full 20 minutes, even if it takes you 12 minutes to fall asleep! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-nap-app/id508709758?ls=1&...

I also released updates for my other two apps My Audiobook player: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-audiobook-player/id4593930... Specialises in playing audiobooks you download from 'those' sites

Daily positive affirmations: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/positive-affirmations-daily/i... Positive affirmations sounds silly (my girlfriends idea!) but they are all quotes about success and whatnot. It really does keep me motivated. I look forward to getting my quote!
