Oh my ... this is not good. MTurk is down 😱

A refreshing day. It used to be my server that's under fire, but today - we complain about MTurk. /s

Anyone using Cloud Connect? Pros and cons as an alternative to MTurk? Thanks :) What are the other MTurk alternatives out there nowadays?

There are still a few tickets remaining for COLM-1 next month in Philly. Paper list is pretty incredible, and student tickets are only $300. We'd love to see you there. colmweb.org
