I personally know of a great out of the ordinary freelancing site that is in the works -- can't disclose any specifics though.
But the thing is, it will have a niche audience. It is not where the big money is.
On the other hand, I'd hire programmers from Odesk and freelancer.com only for throwaway projects. Each to their own, I guess.
- arash_milani 14y agoYou mean there is no serious projects going on on those websites?
- pestaa 14y agoI mean I wouldn't hire people for serious projects from a surprise packet.
- arash_milani 14y agogood point! "a surprise packet". In those websites no one is allowed to reveal his/her identity... And how can you trust someone you can't see real past works as freelancers are only allowed to upload some pictures and text for their portfolio. IMHO The review and star rating system in that websites seems to be failed as almost anyone has 10/10 rating and reviews are copy/pasted copies. So these things can not act as a mean of trust between two parties. It seems to me transparency is the way to go.
