Re: Guru.com

I got one contract through guru.com, signed up for their service 
(thinking that the one contract was such a good experience, maybe there 
were more out there), let my membership lapse, and still get some 
notifications.
I find most of the listings are, as a friend put it, from people who 
want the moon in exchange for some cheese. A lot of times, folks don't 
really know what they want/need and are not used to going to a 
professional for help.
I bid on a dozen or more contracts but never got anything after the 
first one (gotten when I was still on the free membership). The one 
contract I did get has led to a couple of others. I consider signing up 
every once in a while, but I keep waiting for the magical moment where I 
feel like I can fritter the price of a subscription away.
