Rip-offs have never gone out of fashion - and it seems that web services are no exception. Possibly of interest to budding software engineers - examine this brief from one of our fans: Rent A Coder - Clone of Wormly

“I need a site to be programmed exactly similar or even better than wormly [dot] com. It is a website monitoring and uptime site. Please register for a free account and understand what it does exactly and then bid.

And I want it to be done in PHP and linux. And moreover it is going to be hosted on a shared hosting.“

We do of course wish them the best of luck - one can only be flattered by imitation, after all.
