You may’ve heard about Elance, if you didn’t – you should know it’s an outsourcing platform that allows project managers to post projects and developers to bid on them. And it’s not just programmers who are in demand on Elance; companies turn to it to find people with other skills as well, including marketers, designers, writers, admins, consultants and so on.
AppFutura.com is a similar platform that is focused on app development. Whether you’re a programmer or designer on one end, or a company looking to make a mobile app – you could find someone to get the job done at the site.
According to the company’s CEO, Bernat Guitart, Appfutura was born out of the need to find skilled developers to carry out mobile applications projects. This need led them to create a new site where ideas for innovative app projects can be put forward and developers can submit proposals to make them a reality. Each developer listed on this directory is ranked by the reputation they build on the site.
Developers can create a professional profile for free, present their work, approach potential clients, control the full project development process and manage payments with clients securely. Clients (i.e. companies looking for a mobile app) can save some cash in the process by getting not one, but multiple proposals at once… Pretty cool and definitely worth checking out…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
