[Charlug] Guru.com, eLance.com, SoloGig.com?

[Leam Hall]

I've filled out the Guru.com registration and am heading over to 
SoloGig.com to do the same. Haven't looked at eLance yet.

Guru seems geared towards "send it in" type remote work--typing, 
programming, web-design. Not sure how well a server admin guy can do 
there but I'll test the waters and find out. They charge 10% of the 
project cost plus 2% if you use their escrow service. On the latter I'd 
recommend it as a friend of mine is stuck with over $60,000 in unpaid 
invoices for other clients. He's in a different industry but it seems 
the "honest days pay for honest days work" isn't a corporate mantra any 
more.

First glance at SoloGig looks good, it zoned in on my geographic 
location and that might be better for what I do anyway. Will start the 
process and see what happens.

Haven't looked at eLance yet; brain still numb from reading long Terms 
of Service agreements...Anyone else have experience with these sites or 
others?
