    I am wondering how requesters find Mturk. Does Amazon advertise? I think if more people knew about it, we turkers would have a better variety and better quality jobs. Its in turkers interest to promote, how do we go about it?

    they have advertised in the past, but nowadays, they probably find it the same way we all found it...

    I found mturk through a popular domain name fourm. I was paying people on that forum to create a video and post it on my site, but then someone there told me about mturk.

    I saw it on Attack of the Show about three months back. I don't remember the segment, but Kevin mentioned it. I'm really glad he did!
