truenone in the crowdsourcing areaMechanical TurktruetrueThe money from this is negligibleI'm glad it is available to meMostly SatisfiedAllow adequate time to do the work! I've too often had HITs close on me unexpectedly because I was writing or editing, and concentrating on that made me forget to check the timer countdown. Occasionally, time allowances are just too short. Realize, too, that computers woes sometimes crop up -- I've lost my wireless signal, had to reboot and otherwise encountered problems that meant leaving the site and logging back in. This takes time. Since the vendors are paying for a task and not for time spent, it's best to be generous with time allocations.I do online work (not the crowdsourced kind) for a company that employs people to evaluate student essays. I enjoy the flexibility of working online and that's probably why I enjoy the mTurk. I'm not one who likes doing nothing, and I use the mTurk to fill spare time, especially late at night. Also, being something of an information hound, I like the opportunity to learn about unfamiliar subjects. I would like to see more online work available.Information Search, Research, & Categorization10$0 - $10USA41 - 50FemaleBachelor's DegreeThe mTurk seems to attract a lot of less than legitimate work. I'm speaking of those requesters asking people to sign up for insurance quotations, post comments to their blogs or websites to inflate traffic count, vote for their creative endeavor, etc. It has been something of a revelation to me that some websites that appear to be filled with reader interaction (forum posts, questions, answers and the like) are actually getting their content from places such as the mTurk.

Smartsourcing
trueMechanical TurktrueThis is fun pocket changeI'm glad it is available to meMostly SatisfiedThe compensation should be fair and commesurate with the time involved to complete the task - otherwise the highest quality workers will pass on the task and leave it to less skilled workers. Also, if there is a time limit imposed, that limit should be at least twice as long as you estimate the task will take because often the hits will not work correctly due to technical problems and this will cause delays; the worker is often penalized for not completing a task in the allowed time frame.I like being able to work from home and I hope it catches on with more employers. At the same time, the more popular it becomes, the more workers there will be which will make competition for the "good" work even tougher.Content Review & Data Management5$11 - $50USA41 - 50FemaleBachelor's Degree$55,000 - $70,000

A lot of the work priced at less than $0.05 per HIT/task is designed to exploit workers. In this recession time, a lot of people are desperate for income, and many will do work for a rediculously low rate of pay - vendors know this and price accordingly.If this is to become mainstream in US, pay levels need to rise.

truenoneMechanical TurktrueThis is good supplemental incomeI'm glad it is available to meI'm OK With ItClear concise instructions, decent pay for work requested, faster payment, ease of payments, ability to work for good vendors repeatedly, AND ABSOLUTELY NO JOBS THAT VIOLATE TERMS OF AGREEMENT (fake surveys,marketing email scams and spams, and the like.) No slave labor. Thank you.I absolutely want to do more freelance work. I am enjoying doing most of the jobs I complete on Mturk. I wish I could do enough to benefit my family as a decent part-time income source. I am interested in trying other sources besides MTurk. I recently heard about CloudCrowd from Work at Home No Scams website, but I don't know about getting a Facebook acct and another Paypal acct. I am not too trusting of giving out private info without thoroughly checking into it first. I will continue to participate and look forward to more opportunites online.Design, Graphics & Multimedia10$11 - $50USA41 - 50FemaleSome Years of College$25,000 - $40,000I am glad there is more interest from vendors for this type of feedback. I can do so much more than the types of HITs that are being offered. I hope to see more opportunity in freelance work in the future. Thank you for a real survey on MTurk.

Though it is tough sometimes for work providers, still I should say some work providers wish to take a substantial work for almost no payment. Please respect others efforts and time. 4. Lstl but not least, sometimes the hits for only US citizens, carry more money tag than that if it also being offerd to other country residents.

trueMechanical TurktrueThis is good supplemental incomeI'm glad it is available to meI'm OK With ItI only have experience with Mechanical Turk, but I find that many vendors fail to offer payment that is worth a worker's time - especially when that worker is working in order to supplement his or her income. I think vendors tend to think that they can get away with paying people by the pennies for work that would have to be paid a lot more for if the work was done in-house or in the office or through an agent. The sweatshop-like conditions are not fair and if vendors would pay decently, I believe the vendors would receive better quality work that is of more value to them. In turn, workers would be a great deal happier because they would be earning a more appropriate amount of money and thus put more effort into the work that they are submitting. Better pay would benefit everyone, immensely.Oh I am quite grateful that it is available for me. Being able to work online has helped me out a great deal this year and without this extra income, I would not have been able to make ends meet. I hope that it becomes more mainstream and hopefully, the result will be fairer pay. I think right now a lot of the work offered online is significantly underpaid to the point where it really is like a sweatshop in the respect that the pay is so poor. If the pay would improve, I would be very satisfied with being able to do online work and would continue doing online work.Writing / Translation / TranscriptionMore than 40$51 - $100USA21 - 30MaleSome Years of College$55,000 - $70,000
