The “gigs,” all fixed priced, range from the silly to serious. Among them: sending a nice postcard from Paris, burning a small paper effigy of your enemy, offers for breakdancing lessons, Photoshopping monsters into your family photos, coining that nickname you never got in high school, balloon animal instruction via Skype and even the penning of Italian love songs.
There’s a flurry of more practical microtasks, too: CSS microbugging, social marketing, resume revising and PowerPoint editing help.
The genesis of this sites was purely practical, people says it was irritated to having to convert a chart in Microsoft Word into Excel. The task was too small to hire a separate employee or contractor, but large enough to be annoying and relatively time-consuming. Although sites like odesk.com help assemble workers for projects, Mr. Kaufman wanted something smaller in scale.
To keep it simple, this sites removed negotiations from the site and decided .The sweet spot for pricing. The micro, micro, micro economy launched less than a month ago and already has 50,000 gigs posted.
