Fiverr is a marketplace for gigs that are priced at $5.
Essentially, you can sell and buy tasks for $5. So anyone can

 Bar codes in
advertising - which allow users to point their mobile devices at
the black-and-white box to have information and offers sent to
their phones - are beginning to be used on television.
When the cell phone is pointed at the bar code on the screen, the
phone links to more detailed information and special offers. For
example, during some shows on Bravo, a commercial by online fashion
retailer Bluefly flashes a bar code on the screen. When users point
their phones at the on-screen bar...
