Web sites we mentioned:

• These are the “traditional” ones, which have been around for ages: Elance.com, Guru.com, vWorker.com, Freelancer.com
• This one is newer, and favours hourly rates rather than fixed price: oDesk.com
• This one is fixed price, but one fixed price!: Fiverr.com
  
• This is good for small, repetitive tasks: Amazon Mechanical Turk
  
• This one is quite different from the others, because it’s based on crowdsourcing rather than outsourcing: 99 designs
