Imo, it makes sense to offshore concretely defined software tasks not part of your core infrastructure framework.
For example, if you need to research a new API, I would offshore that task in it's old self contained project.
When the results come back, your developers can learn from the research and spend the time integrating that work into the project.
For myself personally, I use fiverr.com to outsource a bunch of small tasks I don't have time with. Since I am more of a backend software guy, I tend to source weird javascript and css problems. Occasionally I would outsource some small Ruby work.
