I saw a post on Techcrunch about oDesk entitled: With oDesk’s iPhone App, Bosses Can Now Monitor Workers From The Beach. the thing that threw me off was how could anybody work like this when they knew that someones was watching your every keystroke? Maybe this is cool for some admin work or simple repetitive task like on mTurk but for a trully creative person things need to be thought of interms of a “project” the whole ” Big Brother” is watching you is creepy too.

In the world of GoNogging, creative individuals find the projects that interest them and offer enough cash to make it worth while. I’m always looking for a higher level of production and I know anyone that makes requests for content on GoNogging are too. Creatives need to think in terms of the entire project and not on how many keystrokes they have made toward the task at any one time. Besides , if my “boss” was watching my keystrokes while sitting on the Beach, I’d figure out a way to automate some clicks to my keybord to fool the bastard …maybe I’d post it as a request on GoNogging.
