Freelancer.com Acquires LimeExchange!
Today we are pleased to announce that we have acquired LimeExchange,
the online services marketplace run by LimeLabs LLC.
The 80,000 members of LimeExchange will be migrated across to our platform,
further enriching our growing online community.
The acquisition further secures Freelancer as the world's largest
online services marketplace and our existing Freelancer community will
benefit immensely from this transaction. Employers will have access
to a much deeper pool of talent and Freelancers will benefit from
the increasing number of projects being posted.

Freelancer.com Dominates Anthill Cool Company Awards
We are proud to say that all our hard work at the Freelancer.com
headquarters and your great participation on Freelancer.com has allowed
us to completely dominate the Anthill Magazine Cool Company Awards with
us taking out both the Global Growth Award and Best Online Business.
According to Anthill Magazine, The Cool Company Awards celebrates
Australian organisations that are doing things differently to bring about
positive change. Cool Companies manage to stay one step ahead of the rest.
They breed leaders who are rule-makers and rule-breakers. They are
organisations that aspire to be admired. They are trend-setters in
attitude and action. Quite simply, they are cool!

skills too! We need motion graphics people, translators, video editors,
musicians, colour graders to collaborate with us for this project. And the
reward for doing this? Not only will you get the opportunity to be part of
