I already know that some of my customers will use Facebook and Plaxo. I have friended a few on both networks. But what about a social networking site that caters particularly to service recommendations?

Years ago I created a rudimentary site that was intended to serve this purpose. Anyone could fill out a form and recommend a painter, dentist, electrician, etc. It was a flop, but it was pretty primitive. Recently I found a site that seems to fulfill my ideals, except the end user (customer) can also invite their friends to share their recommendations with them! It costs nothing to do this, unless you own a business and you want a Pro account.

At any rate, it is called GigPark.com, and if you are a local visitor to my site and you are investigating various local services, you might want to check it out and join it! Here’s the link to my page on Gigpark.
