Your participation has helped establish Microworkers as an exciting collaborative platform for both Employers and Workers. Your active involvement as Employer or Worker has allowed us to develop Microworkers into a truly unique marketplace in the emerging microwork\/crowdsourcing industry. We greatly appreciate your patronage over these last three years.<\/p>\n<p>We wish to give special recognition and warmest appreciation to all the Employers who have so far created nearly 10 million micro jobs to more than 400,000 Workers worldwide. The growth of Microworkers over time is largely attributed to your participation. More importantly, with the world population surpassing 7 billion, and with more than 4 billion making less than $2 per day (according to Worldbank statistics), the jobs you created have provided countless opportunities, each contributing in helping change the world in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>We also want everyone to know how important it is for us to be able to continue improving the Microworkers experience. We have received many thoughtful suggestions that will help Microworkers become even more robust and user-friendly. Our coders and developers are continuously developing platform improvements, many of them based on your suggestions. While this work continues, we do appreciate your patience with us. In the coming months, we will be posting updates on these improvements along with their important details.<\/p>\n<p>Watch out for our future posts. And, once again, our sincerest thanks to all of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before we begin our first article, we would like to take a moment\u00a0to say &#8216;Thank You&#8217; to all of you.
