I like the concept of the site, but it looks like 100% of the iOS/iPhone/iPad projects are from elance and odesk, which I refuse to work through.
a. Most nagging problem: clients slow to make decisions.
b. Sites: many RSS feeds, but I rarely look at them (see c).
c. Direct referrals: Yes, this and repeat clients are the primary ways I get projects.
If you had an RSS feed that excluded elance and odesk, I'd add it to my feed reader.
It seems more difficult for clients to find quality freelancers than it is for quality freelancers to find clients, so perhaps you could look into solving problems for the clients. I agree that direct referrals are most important, so perhaps you could make a tool to crawl the social graph to find freelancers who are a friend-of-a-friend?
