I posted an internet marketing job on oDesk yesterday which might be of interest to some of you: ---
I run a web-based timeline maker called Preceden (http://www.preceden.com), which helps people make simple, web-based timelines.
I am interested in hiring a conversion rate specialist to analyze this site and make recommendations on how to improve the sign up rate and rate at which people who sign up upgrade to a paid account.
I have done some basic conversion rate analysis and A/B testing, but am looking for an expert to take a hard look at the site and make recommendations on how to make it better. This includes devising A/B tests (such as different designs, user-flows, usability improvements, wording, etc) and analyzing historical data (from Google Analytics and from sign up stats) to figure out what type of users have converted well in the past.

If you're interested, please apply via oDesk [1] or drop me a note: matthew.h.mazur@gmail.com
Python/Django/jQuery, with extensive experience building e-commerce marketplaces. I have a research background, data analysis, playing around with NLP right now.
I run a django dev shop, currently taking gigs. Here's my portfolio:
2 positions:
- Front End Developer
- Django Developer
We're a London based consultancy looking to expand our network for some help on some upcoming projects.
Ideally we're looking for people who are careful about writing tidy code, think carefully about which files they check in, and spend too long worrying about what to name things.
We'd favour those who are able to work or meet face to face at our office in London Bridge at least some of the time, but may also consider those who can't.
In particular please mention any experience with, or interest in, the following:
* Front end skills. HTML, CSS, Javascript
* Django, Python, Django CMS 2
* Ubuntu Linux server admin. (uWSGI, Nginx, EC2, Linode).
We're just looking for freelancers in the immediate term, but may consider permanent should things work out, so if this interests you then please mention that as well.
Examples to demonstrate your skills are just as worthwhile as experience.
We are a four man online poker startup (http://kothpoker.com) focusing on heads up (1-on-1) play. We're looking to get into the real money market, which is beginning to become regulated in the United States this year.
At this time we're looking for both a graphic designer and an iOS/front-end developer.
Requirements for front-end stuff:
-Knows how to safely utilize git within a team
-Open-source friendly/proud of your code, shares code on Github or other website that we can check out
-Moderately active within the dev community, has an SO profile
-Proven experience with developing and deploying native (nothing in a UIWebView) iOS applications—can provide links to apps in the store
-Enough server-side experience to be able to investigate and comprehend minor API issues if and when they occur
Requirements for graphic design position:
-A user experience and user interface designer in one—mere graphic designers don't belong making user interfaces. It needs to be a person who can also think in terms of movement and interaction. The equivalent of needing to know jQuery as well for web application UIs.
We're looking to hire someone interested in poker, and initially the compensation would be largely for equity. If you're interested please email jiganti@gmail.com

Looking to start freelancing again. I'm mainly a web developer and designer with lots of experience with Ruby on Rails, frontend design and development, SEO, and marketing. Have a Bachelors in CS.
Experience in web - Ruby, PHP, Java, Javascript, HTML/CSS, Node, some Python, Haskell, C

SEEKING FREELANCER -San Francisco/New York/Boston remote ok as long as it is within the US
Project: HTML5 consumer app for Flash-sale site. Needs to be able to render in a number of devices, phone, PC and tablet.
Project is posted on GroupTalent: a hacker-centric marketplace for high-end development and design freelance projects. more info at manny@grouptalent.com, or sign up to get access to projects.
Libraries/APIs: Twilio, OAuth, some Google APIs, BeautifulSoup, basic scraping.
Developed for Linux server, cloud (GAE), basic scripts for Windows. Comfortable with both git and SVN.
Have prior experience with C# and embedded (C/ASM for MCUs); wrote a bit in Erlang, but not for commercial projects. Was more into maths/physics early in the University.
I'm working part-time already, so this is more like a call for connections. I can handle small-to-medium size projects myself, but I believe an ideal situation now would be helping out someone more experienced, or supporting/extending existing codebase; so if you are a Python/Django developer or a consultancy looking for some occasional help now or in the future - feel free to drop me a line.
If you need an experienced writer who has a background with computers, consider me. Turning technical jargon into layperson language is easier said than done, and so is getting grammar right for website content creation, to take two examples. My work has been published by Salon.com, literary journals, and other venues. As a writer, I'm really no hacker or coder, but to give you an idea, I'm running Ubuntu, idling on IRC, and of course, RSS-ing Hacker News regularly. I can take on all sorts of writing-related projects. Let me know if I can help with yours!

SEEKING WORK (Leicester UK, Norwich UK, Remote) - Web developer, backend (Java, PHP, MySQL, Codeigniter(PHP)), frontend (HTML5, CSS3, jQuery). Familiar with Git. I've got a good sense of design too.
