There has been a lot of question about fair wage in the thread. So to answer everybody, the fair wage depends a lot on region, currency etc. We partner a lot of with local organization such as NGOs. Many of our members are house wives or are unemployed for whom the big difference having no access to work at all. Average wages vary from $1.50 to $2 per hour (this is in developing countries mind you).

Yes. We take care of all of the above. Locale, currency etc.

We vet tasks (and developers) before they are posted to the live crowd.

We recommend developers to divide data into very small micro-tasks that makes sure that the quality is high and takes care of the privacy concerns. This is what we do in applications we develop in-house.

First of all treating your workers fairly, providing them support and helping them if they are stuck. We have a number of algorithms in place on top of that to make sure that the answers are high quality.

He is talking about his first job. MobileWorks is like a second job for him which he can do from anywhere.

It's not. We believe that paying fair wages would improve the quality of the work which is a very import value proposition for us.

Mark Zuckerberg is the most unethical guy in the industry today. As is obvious by the origins of Facebook, his infamous hacking of the journalists passwords during the the-facebook era and countless other fiascoes that come to news from time to time. Everyone who has ever dealt with him says have bad things to say about him.
If he is the face of the next generation entrepreneurs, then god saves the industry.
