If it's using Mechanical Turk, then it'll be like the Kindle's NowNow service, where you'll get related info if not the exact thing.



It's not just Mturks. From the horse's mouth "For fun, we'll also use a community of real people to find product matches on Amazon.com." @ http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&...


Am I missing something? Isn't Mechanical Turk the community of real people? Or do you think "we'll also use..." means that they're using something else? I didn't get that gist from the full quote:

"After you send us a photo, we'll store it on your Amazon Remembers list (similar to your Wish List) in the app and in your Lists at Amazon.com. For fun, we'll also use a community of real people to find product matches on Amazon.com."


You may be right that that it's mturks only for product searches.
