I was looking for an online writing service to have my white paper reviewed and edited if necessary. I always prefer an expert to have a look at my work before I show it to my clients or management.

The support rep was courteous and friendly. She helped me submit my instructions and choose a writer for my project. I was able to talk to him and discuss all the details. The work was submitted on time and exceeded my expectations.

Definitely recommend!

  • Plagiarism Detect

Following the trend, I started checking my writing for plagiarism (when you do your own writing - it's great, but you can never be sure that someone else hasn't written it just like you before). I didn't hope to find an effective plagiarism checker for free, so I've decided to check a few websites offering trials... one of the top results showed this website offering both trial and payed accounts. I checked my article (no plagiarism found which I was quite happy about:-)) and then played with copy pasting to find out if the program is really effective. Results:

+user friendly
+nice design
+ability to check content right from MS Word

-easy to fool
-does not show all of the plagiarized areas
-constantly restricts you for you to get a paid account
-seems to be associated with a writing firm (you don't know if the content you submit is not used/sold to third parties)

Overall: can be used for simple/easily detectable plagiarism. That's it. A pretty 'toy' - not a professional tool for writers and editors.

  • Content Development Pros

I was looking for a gifted writer to write an article for a local newspaper. A couple of hours of browsing Google, then Yahoo - Gosh, there were so many offers that I thought I'll loose my mind. Decided to post a job on Elance and that's how I got to learn about ContentDevelopmentPros and their chief Mat.

This was a 1000 words document on a specific topic and called for eye-catching content. The result was great!

+Fast delivery (1-2 business days)
+Great, original, live content
+Great communication

-A bit pricy
-A bit formal

Keep it up guys!

- Not user friendly
- You have to pay for simple privileges
- Haven't helped me a bit in terms of finding a job (listen, that's not because I am a crappy worker :) )

Overall: an option but not in my top10 list.

Seems the website is... dead. I guess the owners were never able to fight the competition. Sigh :(

  • Upwork

There are literally tens of websites that are gathering freelancers to help people all get work done all over the world. I have hired a writer to help me enhance and make my CV look nice. Key features:

- No need to pay the freelancer upfront
- No taxation for non-US customers
- accepts PayPal

Didn't work for me on other occasions, but will highly recommend for any writing needs.

Perfect for multiple email boxes and IMs. The software design is nice and it's very easy to use. I have spent some time looking for a good software and stopped and this one for now... can't find a decent competitor.

Moz

Was looking for articles and cool info on how to promote my blog... ran into this website. A MUST-HAVE bookmark for anyone dreaming of getting more traffic to their blogs or personal pages. And it's free.

  • DHgate

4/3/11

Ordered from dhgate 3 times. Needless to say, they do not sell genuine goods: only Chinese imitations. However, you can buy goods in bulk (50-100 items) and save a lot. Not the most verified site to order from, but hasn't let me down yet. Probably depends on the seller and the type of good.

  • Apple

4/1/11

1. Nice Website
2. Nice Products
3. I LOVE iPad. Whatever you say :)
