Good afternoon fellow Turks. I have a questions - is anyone aware of any statistical information of Mechanical Turk workers? Specifically anything by state.
You know, years ago there was a map that marked where each worker was located. I don't remember who did it, and I don't have a bookmark, since that was a couple of computers ago....But I do remember that it was out there..somewhere... Maybe some one else will have a better idea of a link. If it's still findable.

It seems to me that it was some kinda research project.? I do remember that the map would change as more were entered on it. And everyone was looking for their own location.

Turk is terrible this week! On the plus side my grass seed is coming in nicely. Every time I get frustrated about how slow work is I go out and tell my new baby blades of grass how wonderful they are. I'm getting lots of fitbit steps in talking to grass :joyful:

Are there any decent filler/number padding HITs left anymore?
Those get wrecked by the most desperate among us now.
Filler batches used to sit for a while.

Now there is always another hungrier dog.

I actually just came on to post a question just like this. I only have a little more than 500 hits and I'm looking to increase that. I was doing a lot of those "Explain a Story regular largescale" but not only are they a huge pain, but the requester emailed me and said I'm not doing a good enough job on my generalizations....so he only bonused me $.01. Whereas last week he emailed me last week and said I did really well Whatever. I feel stupid. I also feel like all of a sudden, I don't understand English and I don't actually speak any other languages...


Should I try again, or is that dangerous? I have 5 rejects so far (in other things, mostly my stupid error) and would not like anymore, but I need Christmas money and want to get my numbers up. All I've been doing lately are surveys... Right now, I don't mind only earning pennies if its for the greater good, I just don't want to make my record look worse.

I would say contact them and ask them how you can approve if you want to continue working for them.
Accept a HIT and then click the name in the top left, contact will be at the bottom of the pop up page.
