Like so many others before me, I realized long ago that freelancing is the only way to take full advantage of life in a free society. We all want greater control over our own daily schedules and future accomplishments.

If you were formerly a cubicle dweller, it’s a good bet that someone else was responsible for making sure that the smoke alarms in your building worked, that all staff members knew CPR, and that the company had a business continuity plan in case of disaster.

As an employer with over 30 staff at Interspire, most of the time when I need something done I can call on a staff member in the office and they will take care of it for me. However, sometimes I need the skills of an experienced freelancer for one-off jobs, such as writing a user guide or putting together a product overview video in Flash. In these situations I turn to freelancers on eLance, oDesk ...

Created by London-based developer Iain Dodsworth, TweetDeck extends the functionality of Twitter and even expands it in entirely new directions.

TweetDeck does that, and ...

Sometimes, the cause of freelancing mistakes lies in forgetting to ask the right questions. I know this because it has often happened to me, whether I’m applying as a contractor for a project or I’m the one hiring others to work with me.

We wish you, our readers, a very nice holiday season. Enjoy your time with the family and all the good food. We will do the same. For the next few days there won't be any new reviews, simply because I am away from the computer and enjoy a bit of free time. I expect to resume posting either next week or in the new year. Until then…
