Useless for me, too. I've found that the task descriptions are too broad to
make an effective bid. "I need a user manual written for a new game." It
is tough to be accurate with so little information. Asking for more detail
doesn't seem to generate any response. I DID get one writing job through
elance. The original bid winner screwed up, and the client company
contacted me to redo the manual.
