That wasn't my intention. As an example look at what SmartSheet has done with SmartSourcing http://www.smartsheet.com/product/smartsourcing they are taking a "me too" on-line spreadsheet and integrating it with Amazon's Turk in a novel and useful way. If it takes off it will be a different service from other on-line spreadsheets (provided they are not copied). I am not affiliated with SmartSheet but was impressed by this idea.
I think the original author would consider smartsheet as a me-too solution(ie. excel, google spreadsheets)--but an innovative one for using Amazon's Turk.
If it's me too what other apps act as a general purpose front-end / aggregator for Mechanical Turk. If it's me too it should be compared in that category, not as an on-line spreadsheet.

I think the author of the article considers segmentation and "unique appeal" as me-too solutions, albeit good examples of them.
So you two are saying the same thing.

I'm still not sure what your intention is:\
