There are a number of freelance sites out there, some of which cater to IT professionals. Does anyone have experience dealing with any of these and would be willing to author a review? It would be nice if I could get reviews from both hiring agents and contractors.
Here are the ones I know about:
- eLance
- Success Group International Global IT
- LimeExchange
- Guru
- GetAFreelancer
- oDesk
I would post the review with author credit duly given, naturally. There’s no money to be made from this, but it should count for 2 seconds on your 15 minutes of fame. 
After all, who can resist fame amongst all one dozen steady readers of this blog. ;->

Have you ever wondered what happens on the other side of outsourcing? This video is a bit long, but it really is an eye-opener.
I have traveled in Thailand before, but even given that some of this was a little bit of a shock. Chris loses his job as a programmer, so he travels to India for 30 days to take an outsourcing job there. He doesn’t know what he’s in for.
I guess I’ll have to give you the link to 30 Days Outsourcing in India on Guba, as it appears WordPress is not going to allow me to embed a video from that site.
