Amazing Apps: Surkus

Surkus is an app that allows businesses to "rent a crowd," but rent the right crowd by using its algorithmic "casting agent" to select each person according to age, location, style and Facebook "likes."

Today, after two years on the market, Surkus has 175,000 members in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco. The company is open to anyone who wants to download the mobile app, which takes any age or background. The only common element among users is that "they want to be paid to be social."

You can check out the app for Android or iOS to learn more.
