    Hi Guys,
    It seems I just had to make one reply to be able start a new thread.
    We have a task for Finding Company records. To begin with we will post about 500 records at 65 cents. We will probably have about 5000 companies to go over in the next 2-3 months.

    I've posted a qualification task for 10 cents here https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchb...cts+and+Services-Qual &minReward=0.00&x=0&y=0

    and if you want to work on the tasks and try out the qual you can inbox me your Mturk ID and I can grant you qualification to work on the qual.

    The task gets easier once you get the hang of it. We need very clean and clear Products and Product descriptions (upto 5). A lot of these companies will only have one product (most of the websites are the products - such as ZocDoc.com)

    WE want a description that is without any marketing language. Should not have any "you" or "yours" or any claims like we are the best, or we deliver xyz.
    I thought this would also be a good place to discuss questions.

    Any takers?

    I need a qual to do the qual?

    ETA: I can read, I swear. :p I *meant* that I need a qual for this, and that my qual I got yesterday is not related to any of this, correct? I didn't want to be flooding your inbox or working on something I already had if the OCMP38 qual from last night was the same thing.

    Yes. I did not want to open the qual to everybody in this case since this will require manual review before I can approve people to the actual task.

    Great. I've been working on OCMP34, who took the same approach, and I love having a direct line to communicate with the requester.

    Thanks again!

    You will automatically receive a score of 60 on the quals. We will manually review and approve people to next round. Please feel free to ask questions I will try to respond as soon as possible.

    hi, what if multiple images are available for the same product and explains individual features

    It is ok to provide one which covers most ?

    How many do I need to do? Just 1, or the typical 10?

    I requested the qual to do the qual task and got it. But when I tried to do the qual task it told me that I had already done the required number of qual tasks.

    But I don't have the qualification for the hit. It appears that you either have it or you don't (rather than a number.) So that means I did the qual tasks earlier and didn't pass?

    OCMP38, quick question. I'm working on one which the products is software based. There are no physical pictures of the software, just illustrations describing the software. Do I put NA for Product Image URL, or put the URL with these illustrations there?

    Thanks!

    Is there any difference between the "Qual" and "Qual2" batch? I did three of the Qual batch as recommended above, should I do more?

    You can hit N/A for the Picture URL in that case

    Qual2 is for people who were getting kicked out of Qual 1. I will start manual review soon.

    I've started reviewing the answers and I still see some people copy-pasting from the website directly.

    I also see some common issues in the descriptions:
    1. Starting sentence with "it" or "this" - Makes it sound a bit nicer if you start the sentence with the Product name. Second sentence can start with it/they etc. . usually two sentences are enough.
    Example: "EdgeMarc Enterprise Session Border Controllers are used to connect enterprises to cloud based services such as SIP trunking and hosted PBX. They are also used by enterprise for business-to-business video conferencing and branch office connectivity."

    Some examples of how to change the description around to make it more objective:
    1. Kabam is the leader in the western world for free-to-play core games with 1st and 3rd party published titles available on mobile devices and the Web. The company is revolutionizing the video games industry by innovating in the business of gaming, game discovery, and great games.Unlike traditional console video games, Kabam games are available to play for free virtually anywhere gamers look for their entertainment—on mobile devices via the Apple Store or Google Play and on the Web via Facebook, Yahoo, Kabam.com and other platforms" instead can be
    "Kabam Games are free-to-play games available on mobile devices and web. These games can be available for mobile devices via Apple Store and Google Play and on the web via Facebook, Yahoo, Kabam.com."

    "Endgame is delivering the next generation of Security Intelligence & Analytics. We remove specific blind spots and provide better security visibility than conventional solutions by fusing disparate data sources and ingesting data from multiple sensors." can be
    "Endgame helps intake data from multiple sensors, perform in-depth pattern analysis to detect trends and anamolies and provide user interface and visualization tools."

    "Engage at the right time on the right social channels. Conversations allows you to simplify content planning and publishing, respond efficiently, and analyze performance at scale in one secure platform."

    can be "Engage helps to simplify content planning and publishing, respond effectively and analyze performance." - notice how we took out the first marketing sentence, and "at scale in one secure platform." to make sound cleaner and crisper.

    Thanks,
    OCMP38
