This was another big week for oDesk. Just three months ago, we were thrilled about crossing the 10,000 online hours/day mark. This week, we passed 13,000 hours, meaning 6.5 man years of work are done through oDesk each day. We also crossed $70M earned on oDesk:
With these soaring numbers, the only appropriate way to celebrate was with an afternoon of indoor skydiving. The 25 people working in our Menlo Park office enjoyed flying with the assistance of only a jet engine blowing at ~150mph. See Brian, our VP of marketing, soar.
Thanks again to our 300,000 buyers and providers in 150 countries – you are the ones that make these milestones possible. Each day we have the privilege of bringing you together to collaborate through oDesk, and seeing amazing products come out of it. Let’s all keep on changing how the world works!

Congrats!
I am very happy for the success of oDesk as your success also means our (providers) success. oDesk is my main market and I wish oDesk grater heights and more and more work for me through oDesk!

We are currently in-progress on a major update/refresh to our CMS using an oDesk provider to manage the development and implementation — great concept and delivery mechanism! Hats off to you all. We should discuss the oDesk concept applicable to OUR industry of sourcing Knowledge Workforce talent on a global basis to Fortune 100/500 businesses that need the in-house expertise for mission critical business strategy and objectives….
Best,
