We have been spending time talking and working with folks who have been using Mechanical Turk.  So we finally put it to some good use as part of a project to learn more about people’s desks. 

So we asked 28 people (we inlcluded 10 of them above), to share pictures of their workspace along with something they would like to change about their desks.  We asked them not to tidy or change anything and so we received responses throughout the day, from a variety of countries. The whole process took less than 12 hours. 

I guess everyone’s desk accumulates drinks over the day.
