Today I got an email from oDesk (Yes. I am getting it regularly) about their performance in the year 2006. They have served a total of 35000 manhours of work through around 8555 jobs posted.

Interesting thing is that PHP/MySQL duo continues to excel in the job market with the largest number of projects posted. But when it comes to payout, .Net with C\# gets an upper hand with ASP in the second (Never thought ASP is still alive?). I love these kind of statistics. It gives a good direction to people where to go for his bread and butter. Of course, It will be interesting to watch what will happen this year.

Even after indian newspapers reported that YouTube has taken down the disgraceful pole-dancing video portraying a Mahatma Gandhi look-alike, the video is still available in YouTube.
