talk on the phone, contribute linguistic data, earn some money

The Linguistic Data Consortium is initiating a study to collect conversational speech for analysis. For every six minute call you complete in the Mixer Project, you'll get six dollars. And if you complete twelve calls, you get a fifty dollar bonus. Pretty sweet, huh?

If you do end up registering, try to say amusing things during your conversation... it makes the annotation task a whole lot more enjoyable.
