Yeah a bot. It's on reddit if you want to read about it. The best thing going on right now, search: Shiwani Bisht, compare five videos, get paid, seemingly endless supply.
For Workers... Just now publishing a browser extension. First run is for Chrome browser. It has a few tools to make Turking easier. It's just published so Google said it may take up to 60 minutes before it will be available. Anyone might be interested in giving it a test? The tools ought to work correctly. But it's in beta so... any testers would be welcome! Not sure about posting the link here...
I think it just means you worked on their last batch of HITs. Check your records and you'll probably find that's the case.
Man. I have been looking through hits for a while now, and it is really disheartening how many spammy ones there are. Sign up for an account, give us 4 or 5 star reviews, reddit votes, upvote, tweet about us, give us your email address, click like, write a positive review... ugh. Guess that means time for bed.
The extension is loading on Google. Said it will be up to 60 minutes. You're welcome to check profile for the address. It is on the Google Store. Tools are mainly dealing with displaying the page to see it better, and more of it. Also has the option to always auto-accept next job. "Return and Accept". And a few others. Cheers!
Shiwani Bisht I had a Qual Value 2 also, and so I clicked on the qualify link again and it let me in. Crazy.
I'm a little late in the game but just noticed this: http://www.reddit.com/r/mturk/comments/1jsluo/script_for_search_keywords_on_google_hits/ It was posted 5 days ago.
If you live near St. Louis, I would. I'm bored and just catching my roommate up in Breaking Bad by rewatching it in DVR.
