I will be honest, I sort of expected this to happen. I've worked with a lot of freelancer/project sites over the years and brought 1000's buyers/sellers into those sites. The biggest problem is finding the buyers. Now tinyproj aims to filter buyers, which makes it even more difficult to keep a steady stream of work coming in. I don't think it's a chicken and egg problem, people go wherever the jobs are quite easily and fast. Finding those jobs is the challenge. I wish I could offer you some advice on that front but the ratio of realistic expectations and budget jobs to $20 facebook clones is pretty low. It's hard to brand or distinguish your quality versus a place like oDesk when they are almost as equally faceless (actually oDesk et al may even do a better job selling their talent with reviews/ratings/info). I think you need to focus on the buyers, the workers are the easy part of the equation.
