It would be nice to know how many individuals were logged in as Turkers at any time (sort of like Skype, which shows you how many users are on their system). We'd all know how many competitors we had.
That's a good one, I've frequently wondered that. Especially at those times when I'm clicking and clicking and clicking and never can accept a favorite hit because they're taken. lol. If I knew when I had a lot of competition, I'd just log out and come back later instead of getting frustrated.
Yeah, sometimes I'll be slamming through some really great HITs that no one is doing, and I wonder where everyone is. Other times it seems there must be 1000 people all working the same group. It would be nice to have some idea of how many people are actually on so I'll know what I'm going up against before even getting started.
You can see who is online by visiting mturkforum.com and scrolling to the bottom of the site. I will add a 24-hour active list when I get home from school today.
I think that is a great suggestion and would be very interesting! It would be fun to see how many are on at the same time!
I like that idea so that we way we all know how many are in there and when trying for a job we know if another got it before we did if that made sense at all lol..
I too, am curious. What I have noticed is that during holidays like today) the hits I like to do are going down way too fast for me to make any real money...lol.
