If you have been wondering what happened to CloudCrowd, here are some updates. I recently received an email invite from Crowdsource. CloudCrowd is now with Crowdsource. Crowdsource puts out work on the platform of Mechanical Turk (Amazon) while Cloudcrowd was accessed through a Facebook app. Now, Cloudcrowd is using Paypal details such as username and password to gain access to the job pool. Frankly, I have a lot of hesitation giving out my PP password, but it seems this is the only way former Crowdcloud workers can have access to titles and work. And so, I tried if this would work. When you first get to the site you will see a lot of paying jobs. I have not snagged any writing assignment just to see how it goes first. While the reviews are mixed saying that editorial feedback is much faster, there are also others who complain of the lack of coherence amongst editors. So rather than getting a rejected piece of work, I prefer to wait and see. At the moment though, there are loads of assignments on CrowdSource and the bonuses they are giving out are indeed, very tempting.
