Help Look for Jim Gray with Mechanical Turk

open source

From David Molnar:

Jim Gray was the first person to receive a PhD from Berkeley in computer science. He's been missing for several days after setting out to sail from San Francisco to the Farallon Islands. The search team has obtained satellite photos of areas where he might be, but they need help filtering them. You can help over at Mechanical Turk:

All you need to do is look at pictures and mark them if they contain anything that looks like it might be a sailboat.
