@Noah – Thanks!

@Sameer – It’s true, as soon as you sign up, the site founders really help and encourage you. Adds to the sense of community.

@Andrew – Haha, neat coincidence!

I’ve been a big fan of GigPark since its launch, and I’m glad it’s getting some more attention now. The service is really useful (I’ve found a florist, seamstress, and dry cleaner through recommendations there) and the founders really get engaged with all the users.

A perfect example of the way a web service should work.

On behalf of the GigPark team – thanks for the post, Daniel! We’re glad you like it.

So far, we’re getting a fantastic response. Users seem to love GigPark because recommendations from people you trust are way better than random reviews. Businesses seem to love GigPark too because many tend to get most of their business through word of mouth anyway and they see our service as way to amplify that. And they are getting new clients as a result!

Anyway, lots more to come.
