"Client Scorecard" Lets Freelancers Rate Clients

Last year I talked about starting up a Jen's List -- the equivalent of an Angie's List for freelancers and clients.

Well, someone else had the same idea. I'm thrilled to see it in action, even if I didn't get around to doing it myself.

Check out the Client Scorecard, brought to you by the Freelancers' Union. "Have you loved/loathed a company that you freelanced for?" it asks. "Rate them here."

You can rate a company from 1 to 5 stars, along with a description of your experiences.

Caveats: To start reviewing clients, you do have to sign up for an account with the Freelancers' Union, wait for the confirmation e-mail, click the link in the e-mail, log in, then paste the Client Scorecard link into your browser again because it's not available from the home page. Also, I believe the site may still be in beta-testing mode, though many reviews have already been posted.

A big thanks to Chicago's Northside Freelance Network for passing on the word of this great tool.
