Stack Overflow meets MTurk - Minute Favors

In plain words

Minute Favors combines community Q&A with task-based work. Users can post quick favors or tasks they need completed and receive help from others in the community, or earn by completing favors for other users. Launched in 2012, it's designed for people seeking simple assistance or looking to help others with small jobs. The platform works by matching people with quick tasks that can be done in minutes.
