Hey all, :ranger: I am a long time turker of 5 years with many great memories and experiences created on Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Wow, what a long strange career it has been. I have gone through phases of inactivity, but I think I am back for good with a goal of a second (minor) income. Some of my fondest memories have been the .05 cent carpet categorizations and many other batches- I am relatively new to these surveys, but I am definitely diggin' it. When did surveys get so popular? It wasn't until I stumbled upon some web resources last month that I found them. I do a little transcription on the side, but I am still at the point where it is tedious. I do love a good batch and hopefully I can get the masters :nono: . I have found some useful knowledge on the site and I think it is about time to stop lurking and contribute with you guys.
