I just used this site, and learned that 18-34-year-old women find a picture of me without a baby more attractive, while the 50+ demographic definitely prefers the picture of me holding my niece. Biologial clocks at work? Anyway, worth $5! ;) Well, sort of... I wish there was a way to view the votes by (gender,age-group) pair, but most of the respondents were female, so I think I'm interpreting the results correctly.

Also, I just emailed a friend about this and shared the PickFu URL for the results of my photo survey on facebook, which according to Derek Sivers is a great sign (http://sivers.org/purplecow).

Finally, note that you can see all the PickFu questions as they are distributed to Mechanical Turk (even the "private" ones, obviously) at

I hope your site can scale. I predict growth.

Actually, there is a way you can view the votes by (gender,age-group,etc.) - click on the "Option A vs. Option B" tab right under "Who responded to your question?" Is that what you were looking for? If so, it's our fault for not making it more visible.

Thanks for the heads-up about the mturk job search - we're making tweaks so that those previews show a sample question from now on. Helps keeps the responses more random too.

Thanks for sharing it!

No, "Option A vs Option B" isn't quite what I was looking for. Let us stipulate that, once I see the results, I decide that I don't care what guys think of my photo. I just want to compare the difference in response between 18-34-year-old women, 35-49-year-old-women, and 50+-year-old-women. I don't see a way to get that information from your current interface.

Ah yeah, I get what you're talking about. It's one of the features I've been wanting to add for a while too - filtering the responses by any demographic combination. Not pri 1, maybe in the next version. =)

I would be happy just to be able to access the raw responses in a .csv file or something, and do the filtering myself.
