Good Morning. Just withdrawled yesterday's Amazon Payments money I sent over last night and they changed the interface. It's amazing how much effort they put into tweeking shit that makes absolutely no difference (or makes things slightly worse).

Just went to look. Makes me wonder why they updated it. To me that's like a clue that Mturk isn't going away with all the changes they're making which is good.

I suppose that makes sense that why put in all this effort to update MTurk if they don't plan on keeping it. Of course this is logical thinking and as we all know the real world often doesn't work on logical principals. And not to be a downer but while I believe you are correct Bezos might think he's investing all this time and energy into improving it so it can be more profitable and if it turns out all these updates don't make it more profitable (which is extremely possible) he might dump the thing. My only hope would be that rather than disband the platform that he'd sell it to someone who gives a damn about it. While there are clearly advantages to MTurk being owned by Amazon I think the biggest disadvantage is how unimportant it is in their grand scheme of what they want to acheive for their company and how little they really need it.

Also not sure if this is part of an update that would actually be nice or just a fluke but I had a $2 HIT go from pending payment to paid in about an hour which I can't ever recall it taking less than 2 hours for that (normally it takes between 2-4 and sometimes longer).

Well I just did the study today and it said the bonus could take up until May 25th though I'm guessing it will be sooner it's unlikely to happen over the weekend.
