Yes Alex. Thanks for sharing these Bryan.  A couple things really resonate with 
me.  

One is your point about LinkedIn organizing your profile by employer. 
Directionally they get that this is incomplete, based on the new "project" 
category. I think this little detail is the tip of an iceberg.

Two is this idea that there is the gap in perspectives between the buyers and 
sellers in the independent/project economy. To put it crassly, buyers are 
looking for cheap and sellers are looking for better.  Most of the existing 
project sourcing networks are designed to meet the needs of buyers first (low 
price) and the sellers second (getting paid on time).

In my opinion, in today's marketing/media/communication/technology/creativity 
business more value will be created when buyers shift their perspective to 
mutually fulfilling projects than continually lowering price and expectations.

What will it take? First, prove it. 

to prove it, this community could be collaborating to promote examples that 
prove mutually fulfilling projects create more value. We will all benefit.

Katherine
