Would you believe it’s been nearly three years since my last writing link love fest? Nor could I, but the evidence is there. This is something I always plan to do more often, but I never seem to get around to it. The posts listed here are posts I’ve shared (or starred) in Google Reader, and on Twitter, Facebook and Buzz. I hope you enjoy them. To make it a bit easier, I’ve broken them down into categories.

Glad you find it useful, Clara.
I don’t know if this is the right post to put this on, but I’ve been on http://www.getafreelancer.com and following are the observations on which I would like fellow members and Sharon to comment:
1. Some bidders are plain fake. They will bid for anything and everything under the sun, having relevant experience in just about everything. These are like spammers.
2. Some bids are ridiculously low priced perhaps by those who cannot offer quality, thereby affecting our rates for good quality work.
3. I had a sour experience wherein someone wanted a sample and made off with it, since it was to his specifications. The payment never came through.
I’d like your views on how you cope/deal with such issues when freelancing online.
Thanks,
Sunny Bharel
