Nathan, thank you for the kind words -- but I really can't take any credit. Just know we are actively listening and we take all the feedback, even the controversial bits, very seriously.
The obvious question: do you have a computer program set to alert you if "natala" appears on a tech site in a mturk context, or a mechanical turk task set with a 10 cent payment to email you whenever you're mentioned?
;-) No. I found out the old fashioned way -- a friend saw the post and sent it to me. He reads YCombinator news much more frequently than me! It does help to have a unique name...

MTurk has been in beta for a while. What's new about MTurk since last year?

But what have they done lately? Do you seriously consider opening a blog and a twitter account to be "sort of active"? The blog contains a single fluffy marketing piece.
They've been using twitter since October at: http://twitter.com/amazonmturk
And they just launched launched a blog at: http://mechanicalturk.typepad.com/
Largely I attribute this to Natala Menezes, their newish Product Manager.
