HIT templates of Amazon Mechanical Turk - mechanicalturk

I think there are default templates for HITs in Mturk, but I can't check them by myself because I can't log in to my account now for some reasons.
Could anyone tell me the names of the templates and what kind of HIT they are?
Thank you.

In the Mechanical Turk Requester Website (http://requester.mturk.com/) there are templates for the following types of HITs:
Survey Link
Survey
Tagging of an Image
Moderation of an Image
Writing
Data Collection
Transcription from A/V
Transcription from an Image
There are also two "applications" that are designed to be more full-featured and go beyond templates (they also have some limitations that templates don't have, including that you can't change the HTML and you can't unselect Masters Workers). These are:
Sentiment
Categorization
You can also use the "Other" template to create your own customized HIT.

where to learn frontend, backend, API etc?

l have been searching for hours a youtube channel (or smth like that explains with videos) to teach me web development terms. l see a lot of terms day by day but they are just a mess in my brain. is there anything explain to me all bunch of them in 1 channel?
Please check these useful resources on the matter:

The frontend (or "Client-side") of a website is what you see and interact with on your browser. Also referred to as “client-side”, it includes everything the user experiences directly: from text and colors to buttons, images, and navigation menus. Client side technologies are HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, jQuery and other.
The backend (or “server-side”) is the portion of the website you don’t see. It’s responsible for storing and organizing data, and ensuring everything on the client-side actually works.

google home reading from website

I'm currently working on a project where my main focus is to create an Action for Google Home which can be invoked and asked to read out some articles (chosen previously from a list, also by voice) from a particular website.
I was wondering if it was possible, or if it were already some similar projects.
What I'd like to do is something like the feature in Pocket or instapaper, where you can make the device read the article for you.
I also thought to make something like a database with all the articles I'm interested in, which auto-updates itself whenever a new article is posted, but my main concern now is to be able to separate the articles in various lists, parse the article and in the end implement text to speech into the Action.
Also some implementations with 3rd party services and apps would be useful.
Please ask me if anything isn't exactly clear, english is not my first language.
Yes, this is possible. Not necessarily easy, but possible.
First - there is nothing in the Actions on Google library or in Google Home that will automatically scrape a website. That will be up to you.
Second - Responses from your Action are limited in how much they can send at a time.
If you're having it do text-to-speech, you're limited to two "text bubbles" of 640 characters each before the user has to reply. You should keep well below that and should probably stick to just one "text bubble".
If you're playing an audio cut, then you're limited to two minutes.
You can work around both of these limitations by using the Media Response. With TTS, you would play a portion of the text, a brief Media response, at the conclusion of which, your server would be triggered to send the next chunk of text. If it is all recorded, you can just send the longer audio as the Media.
Be advised, however, that if you're using the inline editor or using Firebase Cloud Functions (which the inline editor uses), that by default you're not able to access most sites outside Google's network. You need to upgrade to a paid plan to do so. I suggest the Blaze plan which is pay-as-you-go, but includes a free tier which is typically good enough for development work and light production usage.

How to display my organization details on right side of the google SERP?

When searching on Google, some organization details will display on the right side of the search result page that are realetd to my keywords.
Anybody knows how to display our data on that side?
See this example:
I found this great resource that goes into step by step instructions on how to do this. source: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/how-to-optimize-your-site-for-googles-answer-box/166084/
Here are the quick highlights:
To summarize, here’s what you should do if you have a website and want to get clicks from search in relation to a Google Answer Box.
Start by finding out if there is a Google Answer Box that relates to
content on your website or content that you could create for your
website, as shown in the examples above.
Create content that matches the Google Answer Box, goes into more
depth, and make sure it is using the correct markup.
Aim to be either the source of the Google Answer Box or the closest
to the Google Answer Box as you can get.
Make sure your page’s SEO title and meta description tell the
searcher you have even better information than the Google Answer Box
to encourage them to click on your link. Also, make sure it includes
the query the person would search to find the Google Answer Box.
Build links to your Google Answer Box content using anchor text that
matches the Google Answer Box call to action (if you have software)
or the query the person would search to find the Google Answer Box.
I am playing around with some free Wordpress plugins that automatically add schema. You can view more on SEO and other marketing help on my blog here: http://www.renowebdesigner.com
First, you need to have GMB Page for your website and make sure that your profile is 100% updated. It is called a knowledge graph. Basically, there are two types of graph,
Local Knowledge Graph
Branded Knowledge Graph
I hope that you have updated the following things on GMB page:
Business name
Business category & sub-category
Services which your offering
Contact num
Website link & appointment link
Explain about your business
Mark the exact location on the map
Add labels
To implement the knowledge graph for your business. I'm not aware of which website platform you're using.
Case1: If you're using WP website you can directly download knowledge graph plugin and update all your social links. At the same time make sure that your website doesn't have any issues. Check with structured data testing tool.
Case2: If you developed a website on another platform I request you to implement schema.org on the website with the help of the developer. The complete guide is available in webmaster tools.
Hope I have answered your question.
That’s coming from Google’s Knowledge Graph.
If you are the "authority" (e.g., for a search for "google", the authority is Google), structured data on your site can be used by Google to show more information in that sidebar. That would be Knowledge Graph cards (details). An example is Corporate Contacts.

Google Rich Snippets for logo and website description

How can I show logo and website description as snippets in Google search result?
I tried reading on Rich Snippets but seems like there is no way to do this?
Do your part and correctly implement the Rich Snippets.
Create a sitemap and submit it on Google Webmasters so that Google finds and crawls your pages and detect the snippets in your markup.
Google then will decide when to show your snippets according to several criteria described in their Webmaster Quality Guidlines and Structured Data Policies.
Be patient. Stuff related to SEO take time but they are eventually fruitful.
Reference: Google Developers
According to Google’s documenation, the logo can only be shown for organizations (not as Rich Snippet, but possibly in the Knowledge Graph). It makes use of Schema.org’s logo property (on Organization).
It’s unclear what you mean with "website description", as Google displays a short snippet by default anyway (either taken from the page’s content, or from the meta-description).

Sharing on Google+ with big image (photo sharing, perhaps)?

I'm currently working on a Google Hangouts app that, among other things, features posting links to certain pages on the user's Google+ page.
Because the shared content is mainly a visual thing (dynamically generated images, to be precise), I have been looking at ways of having the post
on user's stream display a big, full-width picture, essentially an effect similar to one visible here (disclaimer: I do not endorse the company linked in any way, it was simply one of the first examples I have found of the look).
Now, I've read through Google+ documentation on Share Button and Snippets about ways to have sharing from a single click and customisation of the content that comes with the link, but visually, the attached thumbnail is somewhat smaller than what I'd find ideal for the task (as visible ).
The example of a big picture display was tied to the photo sharing functionality, so I've looked at Google+ API, to see if there's a way to automate it, but as stated on the API docs landing page, "The Google+ API currently provides read-only access to public data.". No ability to pursue the goal through the official channels then.
Next step, GitHub. There are some sites for which the wrappers around their internal communication have been written, thus creating sort of unofficial API, so I tried my luck there. Among various libraries, I have found one that was not a wrapper around an official API, google-plus-extension-jsapi, but being written for the context of Chrome extensions rather than webpages, I couldn't get it to work, mainly due to usage of WebSQL and cross-domain XMLHTTPRequests.
Without any further leads, I ask the community thus - is there any way for a webpage app to provide the user with the ability to share a full-width picture on their Google+ stream or am I limited to standard sharing thumbnails?
I will confirm, you can not do what you're trying to do using the Google+ API because there is no stream write API and you do not have control over how shares will render.
As you have already determined, you can not write posts, such as a picture, directly to a user's stream, without the user's interaction (e.g. share). For branded pages, there is the Pages API, but it is currently not public and would be restricted to Pages as opposed to People/Profiles.
You can generate a share link to an external image and then if the user clicks it, the image can appear in their stream. As you noticed, the image will be a small thumbnail as opposed to a full-bleed photo and will render as a share - undesirable if you want the image to fill the whole stream area.
