One day, someone said "isn't this just Yahoo again?"

Rephrased:

Isn't Gigster a seemingly more efficient way to build software? Why aren't there more companies like Gigster? Competitors to Gigster?

There should be. It is a more efficient way to build software. The market will reward Gigster, MoonlightWork, and Turtle.

Gigster is building web-apps for non-technical clients. They have a ton of overhead, take a HUGE cut, and have to spend a lot of time and money on product management, project management, and design before it hits the engineer.

We're focusing more on microtasks for technical clients. Think - helping the CTO and in-house team gain momentum, rather than outsourcing.
