Ask HN: Can you recommend a virtual personal assistant agency?

After reading some articles about virtual personal assistants, I want to ask the community, if they know of any good site to find me an assistant paid on an hourly basis for some research tasks I have to get done(i.e. finding tables of measurement data in a certain format). The tasks are not as simple as ordering food, but on a level low enough, so that they can be done by any half-way intelligent person without any previous knowledge on the topic.

I would really like to source some things out. Can you help me?

Edit: After doing some research, I found oDesk almost fits my needs, they are only missing one key feature: Searching for people speaking other languages than English.

Thank you for the recommendation. Some of my tasks are language specific, so I would like to find people capable of speaking a certain language.

If you want people that speak a certain language, you could try looking at some translation communities, such as ProZ.com.

I've heard good things about https://getfriday.com/

I know a lady that is a Personal Assistant. Her website is here (be careful the PA link is messed up): http://www.whyorganizingworks.com/services.php

She knows a little of some languages. Which are you looking for?
