What about the traditional marketplaces like sologig, elance, o-desk, etc.? Losing favor among quality talent?

  I think you will find there is a connotative difference between the words "freelance" and "remote". That is, "remote" is often intended to mean full-time work from home as an employee or 9-5 contractor. Whereas freelancing is... freelancing. In any case elance, o-desk, sologig, etc are for freelancing and not for finding 9-5 work, generally speaking. Nevermind the fact that elance, o-desk, etc are just price war races to the bottom...

    Not necessarily true. You occasionally find the client on elance or odesk who knows you get what you pay for, but it is not hard to find the guy who wants you build a "site like facebook" for $500. On the other hand,, you can find that guy on Craiglist too.

      That could be a cute business model, build Facebook once and then sell it over and over again to every guy that wants it for $500... "No but what I want is different!" "Yep, uh huh, sure, removes duck animation"
