TaskArmy is a cross between a conventional outsourcing marketplace, such as freelancer or vWorker and a buy a job board, like tenyt or fiverr. The site is simple but effective and provides an emphasis on quality, over value. TaskArmy was founded by Aymeric Guarat-Apelli, a Frenchman living in Sydney, Australia. Aymeric says his motivation for launching the site was two-fold, to help buyers secure quality work from freelance providers; and to provide a platform for freelance providers to offer their skills without competing with dozens of other providers on price alone.

Writerlance is designed to bring together freelance writers and content buyers. When we reviewed it there were only a handful of projects featured on the home page, many of which were quite old. They included SEO copywriting, blog writing and ghostwriting jobs. WriterLance has no upfront charges--project posting fees or registration fees. A 3% commission or $3.00 (whichever is greater) is paid by the buyer for each project.

Founded in 2009 by three students from the University of Dayton, Ohio. Brainrack promotes creative brainstorming on projects by students with intelligent, innovative or creative ideas. The company won second place in the Harvard New Venture competition, and the Dayton University's 2009 Business Plan Competition. Its three founders struggle to gain organic growth, which limits the number of available projects  on the site. But if they can generate more publicity, PR and marketing output, their marketplace could have real potential.
