Turkers, what is the best way to spread the word about Turkopticon? We posted to Turkernation and somebody recommended us on MTurkForum (which is great!). Dolores Labs posted about us but I wonder if turk workers read that blog.
Is the only way to to get in touch with a lot of Turkers to put a task on turk?
That's my suggestion -- use Turk to send Turkers to a landing page, ask to read the page and then complete a survey about the benefits. This keeps you within the TOS boundaries.
You could even use something like Chipin to ask existing users to help pay for the costs.

Thanks! I didn't know about chipin. I tried putting a task on turk, but I feel like it was a little bit confusing. We didn't get very many people accepting the task and it was hard for me to figure out whether people were coming to the site but just not submitting the task.
How did you find us?

One way to spread the word about your extensions would be to create a 0.00 or .01 task with a quick survey about rating requesters & then ask a question about their interest in an extension that unites workers or whatnot.
Or a survey that asks whether people would be interested in getting ratings about Requesters to avoid Scammers, etc. Then force them to the page or give info.
I do stumble upon they out rank twit heads and no I'm not giving out my stumble Id you gotta pay for that lol. any how I thumb up turking for a living and share it with my friends witch are my subscribers its important to have a social network that you don't just post spamy stuff on that's what my space and twiter is for, just forking around :) any how i want to share turking with all my people so it can grow the more we get turkers the more viable we will be as a work force!
Add TurkOpticon to sites like Digg and Facebook. You might want to add the Share widget that is on many sites which list a whole bunch of sites to which you can add mention of TurkOpticon.
Another thougt. If you have a site that uses Google Ads, you periodically get an offer for $100 of free Google Adwords which could be used to advertise TurkOpticon. I'll look into this. My site has Google Ads.
Share it on social media such as fb,twitter,G+ these are better option.
