Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Personal Project / Homework Help Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: Web, Language Specific, Requirements, Testing / Quality Assurance, Documentation / Tech Writing, Platforms, Misc, Web (Other), Data Entry Enter chat room for this bid request (2 active users at Jul 21, 2003 10:34:27 PM EDT) Description: We have just produced a .NET component and are looking to collect the e-mail addresses of potential journalists, reviewers and .NET site owners. We need a Web-savvy user with good research skills to go out and spend a good few hours getting the contact details for these individuals -- namely NAME and E-MAIL ADDRESS. We do not want an automated program to do this. We want a real person to go through the sites and extract the information. We would like a minimum of 100 key e-mail addresses for .NET sites - for example, you may provide e-mail address for people behind sites such as developer.com, devarticles.com, vbCity, etc. If you guarantee to provide more addresses, let me know in your bid! :) Looking forward to closing this bid early. Thanks for taking part! Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased. Platform: E-mail addresses: Excel or CSV format Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on: Jun 18, 2003 EDT Deadline legal notes: All times are expressed in the time zone of the site EDT (UT - 5).

If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.   Bidding/Comments: All monetary amounts on the site are in United States dollars.

I just sign in for this site and I'm wanting to get some ratings. To show you that I'm willing to do it and do it well, I attach a zip file with an excel spreadsheet with 41 e-mails that I just gathered from the internet with the sole purpose of sending to you. I took the names, e-mails and when I have it some background on the person or business behind that address. My bid is for this already gathered 41 e-mails (it's the minimum I can bid). And I would thanks if gave me a rating and a comment about iniciative or something else. If you don't want to do it... well you got 41 e-mails for free. The address I got goes from articles writers, reviewers and business that have applications developed with .NET I can gather many more e-mails like those I sent to you, how many? Hard to say... how many you want? If you are interested I suggest you close this bid with my bid and RE-bid an 1-1 bid with me. I will charge 40 cents per e-mail gathered and garantee the quality of this research. As I told you, what I really want right now is to build a good reputation. We can discuss the price although I'm not sure if I can lower it much and I think it's fair the one I made.           See 11 private reply(ies) to/from faubo.   faubo (1 ratings) in Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil Bid id: 728,521   N/A Jun 12, 2003 10:05:53 AM EDT  10 (Excellent)     ooops!!

I just read that ask for a 1-1 bid may appear as break of rules of RAC... I did not suggest that to get more 2,5%... it was just to make a bid for more e-mails gathering and get me as the worker. It can be done with a open bid too. Just make it and I will found it.
