Not sure if this is in the works but with the ability to make jobs groups and what not make sure there is someone (I would do it) to confirm that they are real and not just scams.

1. Tools geared toward greater collaboration in projects.
2. Filters on the job page, particularly for location. Also, sortable columns.
3. Flagging tools for moderation of job/project postings.
4. Organization / filters for the groups page.

In to finding Twitter followers on Blellow, Facebook connect is also an option you should think about implementing.
Also, regarding Twitter, you should allow cross posting. For example. When I post something on Blellow, I should have the option to send something to Twitter along the lines of "I just posted a project on Blellow. Check it out." The message should be customizable. It helps the user and you by potentially bringing more people to Blellow.
For Meetups, you should think about leveraging the Meetup.com api and their existing users. Letting users create new events on Blellow through Meetup will likely draw more people to Blellow. Freelancers Union also partnered with Meetup. Any meetup group that was listed under the freelance category was sponsored by Freelancers Union,and each individual Meetup had a Freelancer's Union logo on it. That's something you could think about keeping awareness flowing.
That's all for now :-)

I'd love to see integration with twitter. What I mean is, have a way of making sure that all my twitter followers automatically follow me on blellow cause girl, it is hard work :)
Also I'd like to know if you are available for interview.
That you are a woman having created a social site that is a force to reckon with is awesome. Think of it as preparation for Oprah :)
No seriously I want to bring the women audience up to par with your awesomeness.
In the even that a user changed their screen name, it'd be cool if all their prior posts would be re-attributed to their new name.

I would love to see the option to allow posts to be seen in multiple groups. For example, whataboutki posted a question to the apple group about windows 7 and bootcamp, and he meant it for the windows group as well, but only the first group tag was picked up by the group, although the link to the windows group was also active.

Simple but effective. Add actual hyperlinks to the update emails I get when someone starts following me. I'm lazy and I like clicking links. Give me a link to view the person that just followed me.
I'd imagine it would increase the % of people that login to the site upon reading those emails.

Thank you so much for all of the great ideas. Here's the list that will be implemented first (within the next 1-3 weeks)
* Open up the API - pattern our API like Twitter’s to make it very easy for Twitter Apps to create a Blellow version. * ability to search all content - we're talking w/ a search company now about integrating and that should give us really advanced search capability * ability to search for all of your twitter friends that are on Blellow * integration w/ address book and other networks to notify friends/family about Blellow * Ability to add a Blellow badge to your blog or website * RSS for groups * Form in projects and jobs form that goes to their email * solving the problem of group categories being duplicated * Add number of users, latest post to the group descriptions to group info * integration w/ networks by integrating with Ping.fm * ability to favorite and link to a post * Switch to from S3 to cloud files * File Management - ability to manage all files uploaded to Blellow * Ability for members to list most social networks they belong to - icons for each that is listed will show up on your profile w/ a link * Notifications - can opt to receive email when someone replies to your post
