Here's a new online toy: the Amazon Mechanical Turk. You go make an account there, and provide HITs—"human intelligence tasks," jobs that can only be done by human brains and that you don't feel like doing yourself. You set a price on the HIT and wait for someone to do it for you. Amazon takes a fee on top of what you pay out, and the person who did the task gets your cash, and you get your job done.

Not many jobs on the site as of now (as in, "three"), but it looks like something that could end up being pretty lively.

Translation is one task that could be offered here, but I don't think I would offer work on this site; too much chance that an underqualified buffoon would take the job on. And I doubt that the translation jobs that might get offered through this tool would pay well enough to attract pros. (Translate this episode of Hot Anime of the Week and I'll pay you $25!) I imagine there are other jobs where you don't need to vet your applicants quite so rigorously, though.
