From Mashable:

Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is a “crowd sourcing” service that harnesses the power of an on-demand human workforce. It’s been used in a very interesting way by Aaron Koblin and Daniel Massey, who’ve employed the voices of around 2000 people to create a version of the song Daisy Bell (yes, that’s the song sung by HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey).

I love the individual voices in there. I guess it’s just like Soylent Green says… the ghost in the machine is PEOPLE!

    That was interesting… a bit hard on the ears if you are used to singing in tune… but very much fun. Thanks for sharing.
