		<description><![CDATA[Last week saw the conclusion of one of the hottest topics – if not the hottest topic – in the history of oDesk. Escrow, or the absence of it, to be more precise, has been plaguing contractors and clients for so long, that oDesk was forced to finally address the issue once and for all. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve always been fascinated with people, and I like watching them and imagining how their minds work. Freelancers, by far, are the most interesting creatures. Weird yet wonderful, they are the species I’ve come to love. (Of course, I’m one of them, but that has nothing to do with it.) Based on my personal observations, [...]]]></description>
