Failing that, it'd be nice if you could say something substantive while engaging in the aforementioned self-promotion. Failing that, please try to be more succinct.

Overall, this release brings Mechanical Turk to a level similar to that of Google AdWords: anybody can use it, but experienced users get a much higher return from it, because they know or have learned how to take advantage of the service efficiencies/inefficiencies. Services like Dolores Labs add most value in configuring a job's parameter to get the result or data set you're looking for.
