    Freelancer v Elance

    Also have a think about where the Freelancer is located. With the guys we have on an hourly rate, we tend to use them overnight (in their daytime), so that we have work returned for the start of our next business day. Clients love it, as they think you have worked all night. But be careful...

    Freelancer v Elance

    I use Freelancer and Guru a lot - probably one new project posting per week on both. Guru seems to be better for web design and coding. Freelancer is much better for ongoing work. We have a couple of Freelancers that we have on hourly rates and just punch regular work to them. Awesome...

    .Melbourne - It's a Dud

    .Melbourne - Opportunity Snoopy - couldn't disagree more. While I agree the preference will always be to have the domain name text in the same order as the Business name - Nightclubs.Melbourne is still a pretty good name. So is Airport.Melbourne I suspect most registrants will use the...

    auDA Complaints

    Ned has hit it on the head - if you want to play, you need to know the rules. If you have amassed a couple of hundred names - it would be worth reading the policies to make sure you are complying. There is also no shortage of info on DNT. However, like many things in life- sometimes this stuff...

    Important Changes to our Auction format

    I don't have a problem with NF devising any selling format they want - that is their right. I was concerned when this new system seemed to be operating, before the market knew about it. Transparency = Integrity = Trust = Customer Loyalty. Gutsy effort to change a model that seemed to be...

    Important Changes to our Auction format

    So let me get this straight - only domains sold for over $1000 will be published, because publishing the sales figure of less than $1000 may impact on market value..... so doesn't that mean that anything unpublished is automatically known to be under $1000????

    Call for nominations for election to auDA Board

    Ned, Your letter talked about the Manual process for becoming a member - not for the voting process. I can get the concerns that people would have about making sure members are "real". Simon and Erhan have raised this in the past according to the auDA letter. But in reality - if someone...

    Call for nominations for election to auDA Board

    Surely this is a joke? We have just been through a Federal Election, where some very strange candidates have been elected, because we were all asleep on where our preferences were going. I have nominated Grant Wiltshire to run and will be interested to see who the other nominees are. I...
