Can't find great HITs? 5/12 Mansome Mustache Monday!

Can you check your pm, I pm'd you like yesterday

They look like they received a seed or series a round, so that's where the budget comes from. I doubt they've figured out a way to monetize yet, but investors don't always invest in profitable startups in the tech space. Infoscout's a good example (Jon Brelig), the guy had a previously successful exit (skireports.com, acquired by vail), partnered up with a co-founder who had experience and contacts in the retail space, and together they pitched investors on the concept of amassing heaps of line-item market research using "algorithms" (mturk), to potentially sell to retailers and brands that want more insight on their customers. To this day he hasn't made a dime (he gives the data to partners like nestle and whole foods for free, as a proof of concept to the investors) yet they've raised a Series C (they were at B the last time I visited), which = 10s of millions. THat's where all the money is coming from on mTurk, investors and researchers.

I'm preparing an email to ask Amazon to raise my limits or propose using a monetary limit instead

 

They don't. This is what I got -

Both the e-mails I sent to them just said that I would like to discuss it.

 

...It's like they know how we communicate.

 

have you tried their direct email? PM me if you don't know the company they're working for.

 

Oh giphy. You make me laugh with your boondocks gifs.

 

Your link for 'worst case scenario' is broke.

 

No offense, but that script did not give enough area, so if people were using it and did not see any houses and clicked on that then they were wrong. Almost all of those had a house but were not visible, you had to copy the address and insert it into a google maps search.

 

No offense but the script was adjustable with the zoom if you know what you are doing.

 

I think the problem for those was the script zooms into the highest level, but sometimes google's off by 200 feet or so, and that's where you see nothing when a house exists. But even then you have to Street View to look at the porch and make sure it's the right house

 

I'm not a master, so I'm here doing eyeapps.

 

ty fixed.

 

It wasnt in the beginning when people were just clicking on no house.

 

Well considering there isn't an option for no house...

 

Just FYI - TJ created this script, who doesn't even have masters. Your criticisms of the script are not going to be taken very well, considering.

 

It was always adjustable, all you had to do was go into the script and edit the zoom.

 

No, no, NO.

 

HOLD UP. There is two different scripts for them. TJ made one and someone else made another. One of them you can zoom and one you can't.

 

You can zoom on either. Just change it at the script level.
