Elance for local people only. So no overseas professionals allowed. Wouldn't make any money though. I suck at ideas.

- w-ll 17y agohow about elance for students only. Like facebook used to do requiring a .edu email address
- petesalty 17y agoYeah, I like this a lot.
- derefr 17y agoJust as a reminder, universities outside the US don't get .edu addresses (for example, mine is just a .bc.ca adddress.) This may or may not be your intended effect.
- w-ll 17y agowell .edu is just a filter, we can chose to allow any domain/TLD
- jhancock 17y agoboth the "locals" and "students" plan can easily be handled by a narrowed search in elance. Its simply a missing feature. If there are enough buyers that want this search aspect, it will appear very quickly.
- josefresco 17y agoThis is the best idea of the bunch. Instead of playing up the whole "American" angle it could be based on proximity (thereby working for the world). I'm sure the big boys have tools like this (zip code search), but as you suggested it would be a requirement and the whole push of the site would be to find someone local. I like it.
