I think The Marketplace would be a great way to make TF really stand out from everywhere else. TalkFreelance was quite cleverly set-up as not just your standerd web design forum but as a forum dedicated to actual freelancers, there's a fine differance but it's an important one and one where TF can really take off from.

Improving the market place and prvoding more things to help freelancers in generall is what i think can make TalkFreelance even better and is what i think was the initial idea behind the whole community. I guess as owner coming up with new and inniotive ideas as how to improve the marketplace and provide an even better service for freelancers is the job you have to do, personally i can't think of ways to achieve this but i deffinately think this needs to remain the focus.

I know thats not really helping much, stating the obvious really, but any new ways to help people working freelance (and people wanting to start out) would be a great and very welcomed addition.
