I've used, and talked about here, Expertlive, the tech support help service that features the expert being able to take over your computer from, say, Calcutta or Taiwan or Duluth (it's surreal). Formerly, you would post your problem and the various online experts (whose cv's and histories of recommendations are available) would bid against each other to get you to choose them. I just got this email explaining that they have been acquired by Tech24 and now have a flat fee ($11.95 per "resolved question").
As of December 14, we will no longer be operating ExpertLive.
We will continue to provide our other award-winning products,
GoToMyPC™ (www.gotomypc.com), which allows you to access
your PC from any computer with an Internet connection, and
DesktopStreaming™ (www.desktopstreaming.com), an online
support solution for businesses.
ExpertLive has been acquired by Tech24, which has been the top
provider of support on our site for several months. Tech24 will
continue to provide you with quality one-on-one technical
support via our unique screen-sharing technology. One
significant change is that there will be no more bidding for
services! Simply post your question - all resolved questions
will only be $11.95. Please be sure to re-register after
December 14 with Tech24 to receive the same great service
you have come to expect. You can do so by visiting
expertcity.com
or by going directly to
tech24.com. |
