Crowdsourcing Design

Holly checks in with a link to a site that offers crowdsourced design.  This method is clever.. I know I am presently having a very hard time getting design work done... and what with welfare and a sense of entitlement imbued heavily in USA workers, I imagine many of these designers will be overseas.

Imagine applying this technique not only to design, but medical advice, architecture, nutrition, just about any service you can think of.  Seems like a low cost way to jumpstart  service biz, most likely international in nature, which can be done off your table.

The ecommerce portion could be done of yahoostores, although for accepting credit cards getting a bank merchant account is a tough thing.  Paypal is always an option, though.

Could you tell us why you've had problems getting your designs done? Were you working in a different area where the designers would only accept an advance?
Thanks!
