Day 230: Upwork

Dinner Menu:

  • Risotto aux fruits de mer
  • Plateau de fromages
  • CarrĂ© de chocolat 88%
Today at work I needed to find some people who could help me make some telephone research and some data mining on the internet.  I used a website called Upwork and within a few hours I had found all the help I needed for a reasonable cost. 1 in Ukraine, 1 in Tunisia and 1 in Toulouse.  I find it great that I can access talent from the whole world, I had offers from India, Pakistan, the Philippines, the UK, Indonesia, Haiti, Serbia, Morocco, Slovenia and France.  This is when the internet comes into its own.  Whatever the downsides of the internet especially in respect to social interactions, news and  democracy, I think it's great from a professional point of view.  I have given jobs and taken jobs from all over the world through Upwork and I haven't yet found a negative side.
