The new features announced today are about working with freelances. The new features don't help you find new freelancers, but FreshBooks has been doing some things to make that easier. First, our forum has a gig board (http://community.freshbooks.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=23 http://community.freshbooks.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=23) where customers frequently hook up. Second, we tend to fly around the country have have dinners to introduce customers to each other.

- tdavis 17y agoOkay, so I guess I'm saying it should be easier ;) You have places like Elance where people can find freelancers / contractors to do work for them and you have places like LinkedIn for finding employees, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to find fellow freelancing folks to trade / refer work with. You're already letting them bill each other, so why not help them find each other in the first place? I think a lot of independent folks could be a lot more successful if they had even a small network of fellow freelancers they know they can trust to do good work in areas where they aren't experts.
