Hi everyone, happy Wednesday. I actually just signed on to ask if anyone else is seeing the ad below on any of the hits they're working on? Why would something like that even be there?

I noticed it as well.

I actually tried crowd workers when I first started turking, but ditched it.

It's a bit invasive and there's far better tools out there, IMO.

Thank you. I'm not really interested in trying it. I was just curious about why it would actually be inside a hit. It just seems odd.

Oh, and by the way, any James Franco/Stephen King fans? With Hulu? I'm loving 11-22-63. I didn't read the book, tho. Just decided to watch this because, well, James Franco. I fell hard for him in Freaks and Geeks. Worthy watch.
Haven't seen the show, just finished the book a couple days ago! I loved it. I mean its not the horror one is used to from King but to me it seems the most like his old style of writing from before the car accident of anything he's written since.

:blech:


Garrisons totally ruined that whole expansion for me.
I thought the ending was very weak and disjointed compared to the story before that and there should have been another tier with a more coherent conclusion.

I watched the first episode and it seemed to drag on a bit. Had a hard time getting into it.

So how's this work?
At a certain time and date, we both will log into UNU, and carry the puck to our predictions. We do this for 63 games. If we predict the most winners, we get $1000.

I thought that this was from a researcher. It's a way of 'helping' us and of tracking how mturk works (if I remember correctly).
