There was another thread going on in a different post and I came to the conclusion that the problem is not that there are not enough good freelance gigs but rather there is not a good way for the communication to be communicated among managers looking to find a top caliber guy and top of the line freelancers. No manager wants to wade through elance or one of the other sites looking for that diamond in the rough. So I started thinking that there has to be a better way and I started thinking what about an invitation only site where members invite new members and there reputation is tied to there recommendation. For example they may be a good developer to hire but they may not be good at recommending other people. Their recommendation score would then suffer and if it got low enough, they would not be allowed to invite other to the site. Conversely those that where good at spoting talent would get more invites that they could send. As well maybe a minimum rate that participants would have to adhere to would keep the site from becoming a race to the bottom like the others. I registered igi.gs the other night and am thinking about building up a MVP. The part that I am struggling with is how do you do the initial seed with quality people in a host of locations?
