There are over 1.5 billion literate, mobile phone subscribers in the developing world, many living on less than $3 a day.
Corporations pay people to accomplish millions of simple text-based tasks.
txteagle enables these tasks to be completed via text message by ordinary people around the globe.
In many parts of the world there is an abundance of idle time. txteagle makes it possible for anyone to earn small amounts of money while completing tasks that just take a few seconds, whether while waiting in line or resting at home.
There will always be simple tasks that humans can do better than computers – ranging from Web2.0 tasks such as image tagging and sentiment analysis to more traditional BPO tasks such as translation or transcription. Today, over a hundred billion dollars each year is spent outsourcing these tasks.
A text message consumes such little bandwidth that its cost to a mobile phone service provider is virtually negligible. However, providers generate a substantial commission from completed txteagle tasks that immediately increases their ARPU - creating an entirely new type of revenue source for the mobile industry.
