Along the same lines as eLance, a new online pay-for-code site is starting to make waves in the development community.
The site is Rent A Coder, and they are headquartered in Tampa.
They are a subsidiary of Exhedra, who also own Planet Source Code.
Althought the scale of projects is not a large as eLance (as yet), they seem to be getting good reviews.
This site is eBay for contractors. It has many clones, but original is outstanding one: 1. 800+ open bid requests for today 2. no needs to pay subscription (like at Elance, Contracted Work, Telecommute-Jobs) 3. you can't see strange bids: "I can do it for 3$ in 0 days" (like at Scriptlance)
1. This project doesn't have any bids for now. I suppose - this project will be cancelled on next week. 2. Before your bid accepted - you can post comments to software buyer about project's price. Such as "I can complete this task for 500$, I am super-puper bla-bla-bla". Just leave "Bid Amount $" field blank.
And once again - I are you spend any money to see this silly project ? But at eLance - you must pay for subscription. And who knows how many silly projects posted for eLance subscribes.
Ah ha. I thought the "under $100" project type meant that they wouldn't pay more than $100. I guess they start out with a ridiculously low initial price in the hopes of getting low bids. $700 is probably not too bad for a couple weeks work by Kiev cost-of-living standards (I know Moscow and St. Petersburg have relatively high cost of living, but I'm guessing Kiev is not so bad).
