I have had some good experiences with oDesk, but even those ended with the providers "disappearing" somewhat mysteriously. I think oDesk encourages ripoffs. From their home page: Christine, Independent contractor, Enjoys automatic, guaranteed payment" It helps them, at the risk of alienating the people who pay. Wonder if that will last. I for one went to Elance just to try!
