Semblr Private Beta Is Open

Pankaj — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:31:07 +0000

It's been a long road, oft-delayed, but we've officially started our private beta of Semblr today. The basic premise around Semblr is simple. It's an online marketplace where you can assemble your team of experts using a reverse auction process. It's a market where people that are looking for work can connect with people that need to get work done by bidding for the work. In this kind of economic climate there are more and more experts around the world that are available to help with projects that previously they had no time for. We want to make Semblr the go-to destination for experts and those looking for those experts.

If you have an expertise in Programming, Writing, Video (online and offline) and various other topics, come on over to Semblr and sign up for our free private beta. If you're someone who is looking for an expert to help you get something done, come on over and sign up.

We're just getting started so the marketplace is a bit small and we're launching with a limited number of job categories but we expect to grow the list over time to encompass all kinds of personal outsourcing categories. We will also be inviting new users almost daily to join our marketplace.

We look forward to all your feedback and we'll do everything we can to make the Semblr marketplace a profitable place for you. BTW, if you have suggestions on categories that you'd like to see added to Semblr, please let us know thru the contact form or via Twitter (don't forget to follow us on Twitter so you can get to see the latest auctions.
