    This morning while doing CrowdSource HITs, I reached the end of an allotted number of HITs per unit and got the "There are no more HITs of this type available to you", with the listing of their other HITs.

    As usual I clicked over to the next batch, and suddenly noticed the name change from CrowdSource to SWF. Same SEO HITs, but more items per HIT and at lower pay.

    Anyone know what's going on with them? Have they been bought out by another company and are transferring their remaining HITs over? I thought it was kind of odd. I checked my internal CS panel and there was no notice, nor was there any type of an email into my account advising that they were changing.

    I just thought it was weird. The two different requester groups have different requester ID numbers, but the TO ratings for this new SWF are all pretty irritated by the name change.

    I did some CrowdSource hits today and didn't notice anything different. All the ones I did were still under CrowdSource. Will have to keep an eye on this.

    I noticed it later today. I hope nothing happens to their current HITs, because that is my main source of extra funds, and the majority of my Mturk work. Although I did notice the pay was actually a little BETTER than usual. LOL

    Yeah I noticed a pay increase after the first batch was pushed through. Very interesting...

    Also another thing I noticed was I didn't get cut off after a certain number of the SEO type HITs. That was a nice change! I for once worked until I got bored instead of until reaching the end of a set.

    Likely... but they are probably cheating the rules. It's how the game is played.
