CoSwap
CoSwap is a "ONE STOP" full service site where a "Buyer" can post a project for FREE and have one of our highly skilled "Designer's" competitively bid on your projects. At least that is what they have on their website. Don't get me wrong - its true. They have a lot to offer - to freelancers and "Buyers" alike. Right now they are making some modifications and changes - all for the better communication between employee and employer, but still its worth taking a look.

New York Freelancers
This site here concentrates on freelancing only in the boundaries of New York City - as the name suggests. They say that their "Buyers" - or job providers - are looking for New York designers, PHP, SEO, CSS, Flash, .Net, ASP programmers. That is a good thing considering the fact that there are many freelancers that specialize in these areas, but the problem is on a different scale. There are no freelancers registered on the page, nor there are any "buyers" or projects for you to bid on or do whatever. Still, the website is new and probably still trying to get some traffic - give them a chance.

Rolancers
"Here at ROLancers.com we invite you to post your projects or search the database for talents who can surely fulfill your needs." In fact they are absolutely right about that. ROlancers is a large gathering of Romanian freelancers and others from all over the world. The simple fact that ROLancers is officially a Romanian freelancer site should not stop people from all over the world to find what they are looking for , or offer their abilities, in there. After all they have a really nice and true thought posted.
Romania is now taking the lead in the outsourcing industry ...

Programming Outpost
A great resource to have freelance programmers bid on your programming project. All project posting and bids take place on their forum. That is the only back side of this website - its working with a forum-like system. On the other hand the site has a good rating , completely free and concentrates on Programming. Not many sites do that, still it isn't a whole lot better than the average freelancing site.

Technical Outsourcing
Technical Outsourcing has established this forum to assist its members world wide find qualified service providers, who are able to undertake technical projects remotely. The truth is that Technical Outsourcing is really a very small website with not many projects posted and still in the beginning of the business. The website is pretty shaken up, awful if you ask me, but at least they have some service providers listed and apparently some buyers posting projects. Having that in mind I can say that maybe it is not all that bad. Why not check it out for yourself and give us a reply, will you?

This is what you will see when you have the pleasure to go to the CGI Lance website for the first time.

CGI Lance basicly offers "webmasters" or "Buyers" to post their projects and let the 1714 freelancers - or Programmers - to go through them and bid for them. Nothing more nothing less.
