I'm here to start a discussion about our project, the Crowd-Workers extension. This extension helps you track your work on mTurk, and it also aggregates data from all who use it, so you can see what other workers are doing and join in on that work. The intent is to help you easily and quickly find other work to do to reduce the amount of time you spend searching for another HIT.
Features include:
Keep track of your hourly rate
Our extension will calculate your hourly rate, and let you track how much you make each day
Recommendations
We will recommend tasks that are best for you
Hourly rates for new tasks
We will aggregate statistics across all workers and give you an estimate of how much you'll make on new tasks
Will my work be rejected?
We track statistics about how often a Requester approves or rejects work to help you to decide whether you want to work for them
Find high paying work
Our web service lets you sort tasks by their hourly pay rate, and lets you follow good Requesters and ignore bad ones
When will I get paid?
Our web service gives you access to statistics about how long it typically takes a Requester before they pay their workers
Work History
We provide a searchable list of the HITs you've completed including PandA links
Goal Setting
Visualize your goals and how close you are to achieving them
Statistics Monitoring
See how your statistics are changing over time
Favourite List & Blacklist
Keep lists of Requesters you like and those you want to avoid
Alerts
Be notified when HITs are added to your queue or your queue is emptied
Is this HIT group good?
We also track statistics about each HIT group, such as how many HITs were rejected and average completion time
In light of wanting to increase transparency, we want to let you know that we currently have two known issues we're working on and should have an update to rectify this week:
- only hourly goal setting is working
- the In Progress section of the extension shows HITs that are already complete
Since they're minor issues, we thought we'd go ahead and reach out to the workers immediately knowing they'll be fixed soon. I'm posting here to ask you all to please give the extension a try and let me know if you find it beneficial. I'd also love to hear your feedback on the features it already has and any you think it needs. Our intent is to boost the userbase so that the recommendations the extension gives you are of the highest quality. Any suggestions you have that would convince you to use the extension, if you do not already, would be a huge help. Our goal is to make Turking more lucrative for you through use of our extension.
