- I'm with "hugeblack" on this one. It's best to stick with the traditional way of collecting/listing.
People can do whatever they want to do. I believe this type of model will be great for small jobs that need to be done quickly.

I am not 100% tied down to keep this going if people don't want this kind of model. It was an idea that will either take a life of its own, or it will be buried past the 2nd page.
Time will tell if this way of listing the services is beneficial or not. But if you are really on it, then lets see for how long can you keep it active as similar sort of threads were started previously too but it is difficult to keep them updated periodically.
