We all know the great success stories of high-profile corparations and their outsourced projects. How noone would believe the solution was a reasonable one, and how the skeptics were proven wrong by history. We all heard that outsourcing is widely accepted and used nowadays in the corporate sector to great effect. In the small scale freelancer world though, outsourcing is something relatively new. And as anything that's new it is hindered by a series of problems that threaten to disrupt the smooth flow of the process.

The biggest issue would be an apparent breakdown in communication between the entity that outsources projects and looks for the right personel for their completion, and the would be personel., the freelancer who would undertake the project and through his/her skills and work would complete it. This situation can often lead to frustrating events, like an outsourcer hiring the wrong personel based on the scarce information available on the would be employees, who also might overestimate their abilities and embark on a project that they cannot possible finish in time or do properly.

A free online freelancer community is the apparent answer to this problem. A piece of cyberspace where the two involved parties would be able to meet up according to their interests and abilities, where selection could be done carefully and based on information that could be checked and double checked. Online communities have been around almost since the beginning of the internet and they proved that few things can equal them as far as online communication power goes. These communities have often united people with interests so peculiar and exotic that it would've been absolutely unimaginable for them to meet, and discuss their interests without the power of communication secured by the internet. With this newfound solution, outsourcing has experienced a never before seen boom and it leaves us with the belief that much bigger things are about to happen.
