Ok, The Extraordinaries is an incredible idea, allowing anyone to utilize their downtime like during a commute to work, to volunteer and answer questions via their mobile phone. Just watch their video, brilliant!

Dale,
First of all, thank you for blogging about our idea! We are working hard to get this online asap, and people like you are really helpful in getting the word out.
How did you hear about it? What is your background?
Also, if you like beer, Delirium Cafe in Brussels is literally, "beer heaven".

Anyways, thanks for your kindness.

Jacob, first of all, brilliant idea and I applaud you taking the initiative on addressing real world problems.
I originally stumbled on to your project at Change.org, I figured it was such a great idea it was worth sharing.
As for me, I've been developing for Windows Mobile devices for past 5 years. Although my past work has mainly been creating tools for the corporate world, I am in transition to better utilize my skills to helping others.
As for Brussels, thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely stop into Delirium Cafe this weekend!
Dale,
How would you use it? What are some things that you can think of to do in 20 minutes? What are some other crowdsourcing opportunities like NASA Clickworkers, or reCAPTCHA, or free rice (almost but not quite) that you can think of?
Thanks for the feedback. Please send me your email address!
Have a great day.
