today i recieved this email from Odesk Customer Support :
“Hi %$%$,
The last few days have seen Pakistan hit by severe storms and floods, which may have directly affected you or your family. Please know that we are sending our best thoughts and well wishes to you during this difficult time.

We wanted to let you know that we have sent an email to your employers advising them of the situation in Pakistan and asking them to be patient as the flooding may have impacted your ability to work. Please do contact them as soon as possible to discuss your oDesk contracts – they may be concerned and would like to hear from you.”

now this shows Odesk really cares about its users , thanks Odesk i am from Pakistan fortunately my area isnt heavily effected by floods and i am working usually on contracts excepts download and upload speed of my wimax network is bit effected but i have alternative DSL link , i hope other odesk contractors or employers from Pakistan who are effected by this natural disaster will recover soon and will continue to boost the “Outsource to Pakistan” page’s weekly hourly map
once again thanks alot Odesk for your best wishes and concerns .
