workerly.com: the Social Network for Freelancers.

worker.ly is aimed at providing professionals with the easiest way to get in touch with capable freelancers all over the world. As opposed to many social network, worker.ly does not focus on personal branding, but only on results. How do we make it happen?

Projects are made of real people. The projects you have contributed to probably included more than one person. The good news is: when adding projects to your portfolio, you will be able to add a list of your coworkers. The better news is: adding them will trigger a verification system allowing them to rate your work, confirm that yes, you are a real person and yes, so are they. The long term effect? A network exclusively made of real people!

worker.ly uncovers people's real skills. Are you confused about what skill translate into 'I.T. Ninja' and 'Graphic Deconstructor'? On workerly.com, freelancer' skill sets are automatically defined based on the projects they contributed to, which makes it easier for you to look for a bona-fide PHP developer or web designer.

Project reviews have a true weight. Being reviewed by your peers and employers is the fastest and safest way to gain a trustworthy reputation. Being reviewed by actual people makes it even better. This is why the most decisive reviews on worker.ly come from users with complete and human-verified profile and projects.

What worker.ly is about (this info for you, so you know better the product):

worker.ly is a social network for freelancers - allows freelancers to showcase their portfolio of past projects - allows freelancer to connect with other freelancers they been working with in the past. - the connection key of the social network is the portfolio. If two or more freelancers have cooperated on a project (they have a portfolio item in common) then they are connected.

worker.ly is a platform where freelancers can showcase their expertise creating hints or tutorials and get rated for them. - users can request hints/tutorials on specific topics to expert freelancers - freelancers can provide such tutorials and receive ratings from other users

worker.ly is about real people - freelancers have a trust score that is collected based on how reliable and "real" a user is: - how many works are in the freelancer portfolio, and how updated it is - how many email accounts are verified, - how many other authentication systems are used (facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, Google, etc), - if one or more mobile number are verified, - quality of connection with other trusted users - how many hints the user posted recently - how active the freelancer is in the website, etc. - ratings (to projects and other users' skills and hints) are more or less relevant based on the rater trust score (creating 1000 fake profiles to give high rating to a freelancer is useless)
