   Nice, but does it update automatically or require a refresh? Hung out on the page for 30 seconds and didn't see it change.

   I didn't use masters for mine because it was easy enough for me to look at the email addresses that were coming in and see if they were junk. Would be curious to find out if masters will work for $.05. Please keep me posted! :)

   Mailchimp. Didn't appear to have a problem with spam - each article was personalized, and included an unsubscribe link. Could have made it into some folk's spam folders though. No data on that.

   That is sick! Oh...that feels like it definitely belongs in this hack. Great stuff.

   What part depresses you? That we need to do the write up for reporters? (fixed the typo...thanks!)

    Love your passion social justice. I share it, and I can understand how a cursory understanding of mTurk may feel exploitative. That said, it's clear neither the NYT nor the Daily Beast understand MTurk users - and because of that, they

    Good question. Overall quality was high (you're able to see the results as they come in and if they look funky, you can reject them and you won't have to pay). Stats on our campaign are here: http://screencast.com/

    There are rarely email addresses on a particular article, it's usually a matter of tracking down the author and finding his/her email address. We ended up getting addresses for about half of the article authors.

    Fwiw, I've used press release services like this in the past, and haven't gotten coverage like this. No doubt a targeted approach per author would be more effective than mass email, but from my experience, this certainly more effe

    All fair points, and don't forget the ever-present parking enforcers. I pay $100/month in accidental tickets despite being here for years knowing all the rules. On the positive side there, there's an "energy" (please excuse hippie nonsense

    Rent is crazy here, no doubt about it, and from the submissions we've gotten so far, it's the #2 concern after visas. I predict, extravagant housing prices lead to the competitiveness of other technology markets. But for the next 5 years at

    Good call Ryan, on both accounts. On the wording, I've tweaked it to include "some of" the smartest people in the world. But doesn't address the bigger issue of smugness, which I've noticed too. Certainly something in the SV attitude that i
