The Extraordinaries iPhone app enables “micro-volunteering”

Just when we talked about Catalista, we’ve spotted another volunteering diligence for the iPhone. It’s called The Extraordinaries and it allows everyone to “micro-volunteer.” By that terminus the folks hind end the app mean such actions as waiting for a film to beginning, riding a bus, waiting in job; but also some serious work such as:

Translate an NGO’s website into a foreign language Record locations of potholes for municipalities Identify birds for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Tag images for the Smithsonian Transcribe ancient texts for ReCaptcha Fact checkout for reporters

Interested? The functionary diligence varlet in the AppStore has more information. Additionally, you could also checkout out a dedicated Extraordinaries distribution channel on YouTube.
