UserZoom
An on-demand, web-based software solution that empowers user experience professionals to easily manage their own online research projects.
It's the perfect tool to cost-effectively quantify and measure usability and user experience. Researchers can conduct many types of research, such as website usability testing, online card sorting exercises and benchmarking studies.
Remote usability testing is our most valuable and successful service. We perform task-based studies over any web-based interface with hundreds of users participating simultaneously in their natural context (home or office).
We help our clients quantify usability and user experience. This study perfectly complements other research methods (such as qualitative research) with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction ratios from a statistically significant sample.
Since we test users online, this service is very cost-effective, allowing for both local and international testing.

Infomaki
http://konigi.com/notebook/nypl-labs-infomaki-lightweight-usability-testing-service
The New York Public Library Labs has begun testing a light usability testing system to supplement their formal tests, inspired by the Five Second Test method which was devised by Jared Spool and turned into a service by the guys at mayhem(method). The service, nicknamed Infomaki (info roll?), combines the type of service 5 second test provides, as well as allowing single question surveys for checking on things like simple labeling issues, which you might have tested using card sorting.
The test lets you answer only 1 question, or continue answering as you like, which makes the task feel very game like, and reminds me of crowdsourcing apps like Amazon's Mechanical Turk.
