intereting projects. Comrades are developing an online platform and<br>
digita tools that are helping Amazon Maniacal-Turk's digitally enlaved<br>
workers to get strength.<br>
<br>
This is first one, the Turkopticon:<br>
<a href="http://turkopticon.ucsd.edu/" target="_blank">http://turkopticon.ucsd.edu/</a><br>
<br>
Turkopticon helps the people in the 'crowd' of crowdsourcing watch out<br>
for each other—because nobody else seems to be.<br>
<br>
Almost half of the Mechanical Turk workers who wrote their Bill of<br>
Rights demanded protection from employers who take their work without<br>
paying.Turkopticon lets you REPORT and AVOID shady employers.<br>
<br>
snoogiebug from turkernation says, "if you do not have this please get<br>
it!!!! it does work and is worth it !!"<br>

Turkopticon Firefox<br>
Turkopticon Chrome<br>
<br>
<br>
How Turkopticon works:<br>
<br>
Turkopticon adds functionality to Amazon Mechanical Turk as you browse<br>
for HITs and review status of work you've done. As you browse HITs,<br>
Turkopticon places a button next to each requester and highlights<br>
requesters for whom there are reviews from other workers. Bad reviews<br>
let you avoid shady employers and good reviews help you find fair<br>
ones. You can view reports made against requesters with a quick click.<br>
<br>
As you review HITs you've completed, are there HITs you weren't fairly<br>
paid for? Turkopticon adds a button that lets you review requesters<br>
from your "Status Detail" page.<br>

Notes for requesters:<br>
<br>
"Low cost, high quality" is a myth; you must pay for quality<br>
<br>
And this is the related Dynamo project<br>
DYNAMO, <a href="http://www.wearedynamo.org/" target="_blank">http://www.wearedynamo.org/</a> which ressonates a lot with the<br>
ideas we have been developing with SaysUs.<br>
<br>
Both Frank Kashner and comrades from Dynamo will be in New York, as<br>
far as I understood, at the Digital Labour: SWEATSHOPS, PICKET LINES,<br>
AND BARRICADES event (<a href="http://digitallabor.org/" target="_blank">http://digitallabor.org/</a>). I hope these two<br>
projects will find a way to build a synergic collaboration.<br>
<br>
Just wanted to share with the rest of you.<br>
