Freelancers Union the Platform for an Independent Workforce

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 08/23/2008

Why is it that the comments about the annoying pop-up are all getting thumbs down? Do people actually like the exit pop-up? I'm hoping the RD.com folks are just doing a test and this isn't the direction they're heading in for the long-term. (see comment)
