Currently I'm looking for people that work on the platform and have a story (or two) to share. I'm interested in: How does MTurk work? What are the opportunities and challenges? Strategies? Are you able to make a living from it? How does MTurk fit into / impact your everyday life? …?

I'd be happy to...
