Vworker Acquired by Freelancer

Freelancer has again acquired another outsourcing company, and this time it was vworker (formerly rentacoder.com). Vworker started last 2001 and become 4th biggest marketplace for freelance coders. Just in 2010, rentacoder changed its name to vworker to prepare for additional categories like graphic design and writing jobs. Freelancer has also bought Scriptlance last July 2012, a fifth in rank in outsourcing business. With its acquisition of the two biggest companies, freelancer is now said to have 6.6 million IT professional. Other competitors in the industry are eLance and oDesk. eLance was I think the number one in this field and oDesk is the second in rank. The migration of IT professional’s account from vworker has already been in place today and you can’t see the old vworker.com site as of now. So, checkout your email for your new username and password if you are a member of vworker.com.
