    Well I can't speak for anyone else in the US who, as you put it, 'probably' has HITs available.

    As you can see mine is not far off yours.. yes I'm US.

    184,394 HITs
    available now

    Well yes I imagine qualified number will vary quite a bit.. you have been doing this much longer than I have, I think anyways lol I haven't even hit my 1000 HITs yet.

    So if I click the 'available to me' thingie it changes to

    186,916 HITs
    available now

    Still fairly close to yours so I guess mTurk is blah for everyone today.

    Only 525 available to me also. Anyone tried doing the 'create 5 original graphics to make custom t shirts etc' HIT by requester Elaine?

    Its so easy, i tried downloading the templates to create some design, but they looked utterly confusing, so i just signed up to their website and upload some pictures I took and whacked them on mugs, t shirts and iphone cases and that was it. $3.00 in about 10 minutes tops.

    Well, I don't know about the rest of mturk, but CW's transcript list is almost completely empty. I guess we've been going through them all and there's just not much left.

    Then I go looking for ClariTrans stuff and can't find any of those either. Durn.

    Found some 15 minute transcriptions for, like, 45 cents, way wayyy too cheap for that much work.

    Hope this gets better.

    Me too had the same no. of availabilities. I believe the "186,916 HITs available now" is same throughout the world, no matter whether you're US or non-US. Also it wont depend on qualifications, I think.

    Ok, the 185,400 HITs available is "spread out" in this top number. That's each individual task possible to accept.

    Below that, what's available to you, the HITs are grouped.
    1-10 of 511.
    If each of those 511 HITs had 50 HITs available (individual tasks you can accept, skip, etc.) it would look more like 25,550 HITs available to you.

    They're doing the math two different ways on that page and it can be confusing.
    _______________
    181,238 HITs
    available now

    A great deal of the studies on MTurk are posted by colleges, and not much goes on with them during the summer sessions. I think things will pick up once the Fall semesters begin.
