For example:
In Identity number 3 or C2B:  I found the example of  http://www.freelancer.com.  Freelancer.com is a website that allows a consumer to post a project, and the freelancers swoop in and tell them how much it would cost to manifest.  Many of the individuals coming onto the site are looking to receive IT help for their various projects.  The individuals post the project in detail and a price amount they hope to  acquired the IT talent for.
There is a profile of the different talent, previously completed projects, reference quotes, and a star system built in to contribute to the posters understanding of the quality of talent bidding on their project.  An interesting note is that there seemed to be a strong international flavor to the site with individuals from all over the world contributing.  To date there are over 4 million freelancers looking for projects and 2.5 million people looking for projects.
