…so are we and we’d love to see you. oDesk is exhibiting at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco next week.
If you are planning to be there, please stop by our booth to say “hello” and enjoy a treat. We’ll be in one of the kiosks in the Long-Tail Pavilion.
We’re really excited about the conference. It’s a great opportunity to see what’s new and meet new people, not to mention that former oBlogger, Dave McClure, is a program co-chair.
We have made our release log page public. While we figure out where to effectively place it in the application/website, you can access it by clicking here:

There is a lot of information on new features (what they do and why they were developed), and insights into the oDesk philosophy about service to our users.
We will be making regular blog posts about the new features as they are rolled out. Here are some older blog posts that you can access:
