Google hires everybody on Earth

<a href="http://www.google.com/services/local-business-referrals/repfaq.html">Google is hiring</a>, you may have heard. What you may not have heard is that they'll take <em>anybody</em>. If you're willing to walk around with a digicam and a notebook, you can make up to $10 per business that you walk into and gather information about.

Google is paying $2 for each store a person goes into and takes down info such as hours of operation and snaps some pictures. The $8 comes after the store owner/manager verifies the info with Google.

While innovative, it sounds like most "easy money" schemes - you do a lot of work to earn $2 per store, but the big payoff (the $8 for verification) might require a lot of follow-up and pestering of business owners to get on Google and verify their info.

This actually looks pretty interesting. Looks like a great way to make some money and pitch the idea of getting a business their own website.
