Interesting article in Wired, which we recommend reading:

“Just as distributed computing projects like UC Berkeley’s SETI@home have tapped the unused processing power of millions of individual computers, so distributed labor networks are using the Internet to exploit the spare processing power of millions of human brains.”

We have some other entries related to labour in our P2P Encyclopedia, see for example, our entry on Flexible Involvement, and one on Free Labour. The best access to such type of information is in our special page on P2P Business Concepts.
