Who ever said engineers and poets don’t mix?

Enter Matt Romaine, an oDesk fan in Tokyo, with a 10-stanza ode to oDesk.

Here’s an excerpt:

Each 20 minutes, a screenshot appears,
of the desktop for the guy I just hired.
At the end of my day, I can view on a page,
the events of his day that transpired.

But oDesk knows that there’s more to manage,
and throws some treats in the mix,
a vertical bar beside the photo,
counting all his mouse clicks!

So props to oDesk for a wonderful service,
without which my project was hopeless.
Just know that you’ve got at least one fan in Japan,
“making geeks rich and famous�

Thanks Matt for the kind words. Not to nitpick, but oDesk Team captures a screenshot every 10 minutes (not 20). :-)

More on how it works here. Newbies can see Team in action in our video tour, or they can explore the application in our demo.
