Seattle-based Amazon Web Services, the web services subsidiary of Amazon.com, said today that it has launched a new set of tools for the firm's Amazon Mechanical Turk services.

Amazon's Mechanical Turk services are being used for such things as image tagging, filtering, and other tasks which humans do better than computers.
