I don't mean to bash, but when you have resources like StackOverflow/StackExchange, Google Groups, and other forums that have most questions and answers for all sorts of software topics, and eLance and oDesk for hiring people to make whatever it is you need, what would make someone want to use Algorithmia?

I think there's a sizeable market for tailored code solutions that "volunteers" wouldn't help out with. The bounty model can be more efficient / less cumbersome than Elance for a set of problems.

A lot of people had this comment about Bountify.co; check it out to see what kinds of code bounties people post.
