#22I took a leap of faith and signed up. All i see after completing the FB and Twitter tasks is "Sorry, but no projects are available for you at the moment. Please pick a different category." but there is no way to select a category. Very disappointing / frustrating UX.
Did you not see the "What language do you speak", "Which devices do you own" and "Improve your workhub profile"?

I definitely don't. Although I did go through and fill out the profile after seeing this comment. No new tasks, though.

#28Please could you expand on what the application does. Your homepage does not fully explain what it does. 1. What kind of simple tasks? 2. Who is it targeted to? 3. How much is it per task?
Sure. 1. There are data entry tasks, writing descriptions for online shops, filling out surveys etc. We are looking for partners who have smaller tasks like this that they would like to see completed by our almost 70,000 users now. 2.

Writing descriptions for online shops = writing product descriptions for shops who add a lot of inventory but need human-written and unique descriptions.
