I just saw your recent posting. You're always looking for "game changing" initiatives. I am all about "changing the rules" and meeting social needs more efficiently. My baseline definition definition for innovation http://gotastrategy.typepad.com I am seeing more players like even Amazon.com create these giant markets where skills / soft assets can be brokered. I am not sure if you are familiar with Amazon's "mechanical Turks" initiative http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome . They are going down to the other extreme â€“ piece works for digital things. I also noticed Guru.com is moving way beyond rent a coder business model. I see a couple of other similar trends in U.S. www.eworkmarkets.com www.market10.com In your recent initiative (Experteer), I can see the eventual disintermediation of the recruiting process (eliminating the middleman). Does this eventually create any conflicts for current recruiters? â€¦cheers, Kameran Ahari
