Big respect for realizing the bigger issue is that not enough people know of either site. When startups in this massive space need to start competing with each other they have already won. Recruiters have the market at the moment, but I do

Same comment I put on the blog, but keen to hear HN responses. Why do so many freelancers gravitate to small(er) clients? It seems to lead to direct competition with platforms such as freelancer.com, odesk, elance, etc which is impossible

You should know what you want to say, but some people don't feel comfortable speaking on the phone. If you're going to mumble or ramble on the phone you're probably better off keeping it short and clear in an email.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're after, but it is tech business related. Currently frustrated that highrise does not timestamp tags, or allow tags to be sorted by a timestamp. If you could add that feature as a plugin or via thei

Sounds like they're link spamming. Those links are very very low quality, you can easily beat them. Don't chase low quality links, get higher quality links. It won't be considered "black hat". If you are writing good content I'd suggest u
