Elance/oDesk gets ridiculous - but I've heard stories of the Digg prototype being the product of oDesk freelancers and a couple thousand dollars.
Never have found proof/merit to this but I still wonder... anyone know?
- drewblaisdell 14y agoThe Digg prototype was the product of a single freelancer and two hundred dollars.
- ErikAugust 14y agoDamn... any links/references to share?
- dbond 14y agoIf I remember an episode of diggnation correctly Rose paid $10 per hour, though this is probably wrong. 20 hours is doable for a prototype of the first version of digg.
- drewblaisdell 14y agoI remember this episode too. It looks like he misspoke judging by what I can find online: the eLance forums have people correcting $200-$300 estimates saying that Kevin Rose actually spent more like $2k (as the parent of my comment claimed, sorry).
