oDesk Hits MileStones, Lowers Fees
Interesting site that you can hire people and monitor them while their working for you…Average hourly rate at about $15…
oDesk is a place to find developers to build software, and they allow the project owner to monitor the developer while working via screen shots and a video camera – see the demo here. This is a service that we’ve used ourselves and plan on using again. The only downside that we’ve encountered – projects posted can be seen by the public, and it is a disadvantage for your competitors to see what you are up to (if they are smart enought to check out the site).
oDesk is doing very well, and will announce 500,000 total billed hours. 6,000 developers have registered with the site and 1,000 new projects are posted per month.
