Go ahead: try to find a section of the website that isn't fully functional and operational. We've finally put the last few pieces of the website in place since launching one month ago. There are now several new features that you may not have seen yet. Some parts of the website make more sense when you consider how things might look in a few weeks from now.
Several requesters have chosen to migrate their jobs off of Mturk onto their own sites. The end result in some cases is a niche mechanical task site that isn't open to other requesters -- not yet, anyway. One of them, Crowdsource, has stated its intentions to be open to other requesters. The Stanford Crowd Research Group is also developing a new mechanical task site. This leaves open the potential for disruption of the current model by new concepts, so it's worth a quick review of some known niche sites, and forthcoming sites.
