IMHO

The idea seems kinda cool. I signed up and got listed for free. It also seems kind of expensive for the premium features; well over $100 per year for more useful personalization, and then $50 per each additional category after the two free ones. They have bundles, but it's still pricey. They also charge you a hefty fee if you want your information bolded. There are a lot of upsells. I dunno, I'm not sure how good their service is in real-world usage. If it catches on more with the industry, then it might be well worth it. I still think it's over-priced, especially for the "Average Joe Freelancer Guy." Eh, time will tell.

I agree!

They seem to be charging as if it were already a standard resource. If I were them I would give it away for free for the first couple of years until it catches on and then try charging for it. Just my 2 cents.
