I'm pretty sure Odesk is the leader for outsourcing sites now, but who do you think is #2 in terms of market share? (or in terms of which one you like the most that is of reasonable size?)

    Oh man, there is a lot and you're probably going to get a wide variety of opinions.

    Elance, rentacoder, onlinejobs.ph, etc. etc.

    I don't know which would be #2 though.

    Yes, elance and vworker would be my guess too, but I was especially curious if anyone knew who is #2. To me vworker fell behind. They used to be my favorite, but Odesk made such a good system and vworker has been too slow to catch up.

    I also like elancer.com, but there's a new site which looks really cool if it can gain some momentum. It is MicroJobs - MicroJob Small Job Contracting and Employment For Anyone!

    I think you can use google to search for the number 2 spot. With the high increase on people switching to IM, various outsourcing sites/agencies are sprouting. Few of the outsourcing sites I know is that onlinejobs.ph and easyoutsource.com.

      Eek! I checked those sites out. They've got a long way to go to catch up to the others. Not even close.

      If you are marketing those sites, no offense intended. Just saying they have a ways to go.

    IMO vworker used to be number one (back when they were called rentacoder) then odesk suddenly blew everyone away.
