Chandan Singh Every now and then why i come across projects posted on Elance which have racial discrmination towards comapnies based on their geographical locations.
I understand that at times project does require the service provider to be based in the vicinity of client for some reason which seems valid but what about projects in w...hich RFP says:

Added 6 DEC 2009, 22:36 PM EST
HI,
Just to clarify; We will not be working with anyone from India. Period!

Can anyone please explain this racial discrimination ....and this text is not quoted in preferred location but in the RFP.

Do we really need such kind of buyers on Elance?

I've seen that too. Why take it personally! Don't we all meet (expletive)s now and then? We also meet great people who make it worthwhile, and sometimes have a better opinion of our abilities than we do! I have often bid on projects that required 'native speakers' and won! They're pretty open-minded most of the time.

I'm not very active on elance, and the main reason is that I've been doing this for 10 years now and my fees wasn't going up...you really need a thick hide to be a freelancer...the 'artist' mentality doesn't work...and that was my stumbling block.

Elance The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics released the November edition of "The Employment Situation". Unemployment dips to 10% and the number of job losses hits the lowest since the beginning of the recession in 2007, and we take a look at why and how elancers are helping boost this trend.

Uma Elance, I have a contest question for you - how important is "visibility" in the contest "The New Way to Work"?
What did you mean by "the more you shout, the more we will listen"?
A lot of members have posted their entries in multiple websites, they have made repeated posts here about it and some have compiled listings ...of their favorites.
Is 'shouting' / visibility an important factor in deciding the winner?
Is popularity an important factor?
I got 21 comments on my note here with my entry, but none on my blog.
How important is it, is it a deciding factor? Did I miss something?

Shouting/visibility is not an important factor in the judging -- we just want to make sure we see it when you publish it so we can put it in the running. The winner will be decided by the three criteria outlined in the rules: Creativity and Innovation, Quality of the Message, and Inspiration to the Community.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I live in a vineyard and winery community so good service is essential--Verizon for me. I've been looking at the new Droid, but a decent keyboard is more important to me than internet bells and whistles, and so that was a deal-breaker. I'll stick with my old EnV (which is not very smart, but it's durable) and just take my laptop with me. Love Verizon's credit card app--I can collect payment right then and there by using my phone. That's smart enough for me!

Elance Curious about "Droid"? We take a look at the new robot-phone that looks to take a share of Apple's App Store pie. Here are 5 reasons why you and your business should keep your eye out on Android.

“Droid Does” If you’ve had your radio, television, or computer flipped on in the past month, you’ve most likely run into the phone that is a “bare-knuckled bucked of does.”  Although
