<nettime> Fwd: Class composition in black economies and the micro-contract e-lance phenomenon - network economies... ? |
Class composition in black economies. e-lancing and txting refugee workers... Hello, I have been thinking about work-type trends, what I have clumsily tagged as http://delicious.com/dr.woooo/micro-contracts-beyond-temping The e-lancing phenomenon, jobs like refugees being texting services for payment per txt and also bidding for 1hr assignments or tasks put this way on a website that specializes in using poor workers in parts of the world to organize jetsetters diaries or edit paragraphs of documents etc – “ HITs - Human Intelligence Tasks - are individual tasks that you work on. Find HITs now. Requester: retaildata HIT Expiration Date: Mar 5, 2010 (5 days 4 hours) Time Allotted: 60 minutes Reward: $0.01 HITs Available: 95568 ” I’m curious if anyone has written class compositionist type stuff on the other similar types of work and perhaps more interesting black economy in ‘networked capitalism ‘ ie. The class make up and nature of spammers, virus writers, paid hackers and the class make up and nature of work in the drug economy ( I heard someone writes on drug-cartels/dealing as another form of work in mexico ? ) Any pointers to these enquiries or thoughts ?
