Missed first Amazon WebEx meeting
Crap. I missed the Amazon WebEx meeting today. (I'm really dropping the ball here, I guess.) I feel bad because 1) i missed the information and 2) having registered, i may have stopped someone else from listening in on the presentation. Grr. Ok, moving on, I'll make sure to make the next one. Meanwhile, did anyone attend? Turking.com has a thread talking about it.

Things to note.

Not Keeping my Eyes on Things
Today I read through forum posts and such...And I realized I have missed a lot in the last couple of days...Where to begin....
First off there's the Amazon Mechanical Turk Status Update. Which includes the email address to complain to about being unjustly banned. As well as some other interesting tidbits from Jeff Bar.
Secondly, there's a new Turking Resource, the Mech Turk Blog, which is actually much more then just a blog (it has forums and whatnot).
