When we first heard about Fiverr — the service which asks, “What are you willing to do for $5?” — we were seriously skeptical. Who would actually advertise to do anything for the cost of an overpriced coffee?
Checking back in a few weeks after launch, we were amazed to see that the site appears to be flooded with offers from people prepared to do many, many things — good and bad, funny and not — for a price. So, we decided to put the service to the test and find out what we could get for five greenbacks.
Do we think the service is exploitative? Potentially. Is it a fascinating social experiment? Despite our mixed feelings on the topic
