No TO, university study

they didn't last long LOL

 

Aaaaand, they're gone. Got like 15 in.

 

Dude, those were like super easy. Seriously about three seconds for each.

 

I bet she messed that up. You'd have to have exactly 98% in order to do the HIT. I'll email her.

Edit: She says it was an error and she'll fix it in a moment.

 

Got my 30 in. Those looked like they were reading some of the emails my boss sends out. :\ Dude spells his own name wrong.

 

I got like 30 or 40 in.. such is the mturkforum effect. Definitely adding them to my watch list.

 

if you like doing the excel hits

Asks for your real name.

 

I got 101 in was really hoping it was 290 per person since the numbers weren't dropping at all at first. Oh wells. Now just to find 1k more to hit 5k finally

 

Steelers fan, or random gif?

Cause if Steelers fan...I love you.

 

It is somewhat surprising (disheartening? disappointing?) that Amazon does not have something like a "Feature Request" for workers. That Amazon does not host a forum for Turkers. We're talking about hundreds of thousands of workers, apparently, so think about what all of these differing viewpoints and opinions could come up with.

But it is somewhat understandable. Has anyone really seen any kind of change on the site, in terms of added features? Ever?

A little while back Amazon updated the captcha images. Is there much else?

Wasn't on the site much in 2007, so it is hard to remember what it was like. But for some reason, intuition maybe, it seems like the 2013 version is almost identical.

 

Those 3D heads are working for me today.

 

14 minutes? Kind of fun.
I messed up parts of the recording portion, so I hope I don't get rejected for that.
It does ask for your name in the consent part, but I just used an initial for my last name. Hope that was alright too.
orz

 

17 minutes for me

 

4.5 min, good to, fun
