Work. Now. Locally. Mission : Contently: Tell Great Stories Why? Because we’ve seen how the ease of sharing high-quality information and stories in the digital age can have a positive impact on the world — and we’ve seen how lousy, unoriginal content can do just the opposite. Bad content pollutes the media ecosystem. It clogs search results, spams news articles with irrelevant suggested links, turns comment sections into war zones, and drapes the media landscape in spiderwebs of reposted listicles. When Contently launched in December 2010, we declared war on SEO "content farms" that exploited writers and created content for robots instead of people, stating in our original manifesto that "in two years the content farms will be dead, but good content will not." That's largely true today. Since the early days of Contently, we’ve believed that original content trumps all.
Manifesto | Crew We are at the start of the most significant economic movement since the Industrial Revolution. With the tools available today, work is being redefined. We have more power than ever before to be our own bosses. Develop our own passions. And work is no longer a place. It can happen from any space, any place, anytime, anywhere. While there has been progress toward making it easier for people to work together in this new economy, there hasn't been the same amount of innovation directed toward connecting people who are looking for exceptional work with professionals who know how to deliver quality results. What's wrong with many of the current services is they tend to pit professionals against one another, ultimately landing on price as the determining factor. While it's now possible to work from anywhere in the world and make a living, we think there's room to do much better. At Crew, we're building a system that values the results of the work done, not just the dollar price.

My background is in data recovery, computer forensic and cybercrime investigations. I have had mixed successes - an email investigation in Nigeria, a data recovery in UAE and a video analysis for a murder investigation in Belize. I believe that my niche is, perhaps, too narrow - and my profile may turn off too many. The other side of this coin is that security people need to add another thing to their ever-growing TO-DO list. The New Dodge City (previously published on LinkedIn One of the fundamental laws of the Universe is that IT Security professionals wear a multitude of hats. Allow me to add to your workload. The threat to IT security that is present in these sites is two-fold and was the inspiration of the title for this article. So, what should you do? Good hunting. Who am I and why should you listen to me?
