The fact that you are able to link your Gigpark account to your existing Gmail and Facebook accounts may be the key to this new site's success. I think that the concept is fantastic, but Gigpark's compatibility with people's email accounts and other social networking sites will help it catch on much faster than it would otherwise.

Thanks for the thoughtful write-up Kristen!

We developed the idea for GigPark after hiring a lot of service providers ourselves - good and bad ones. We always found the best service people via recommendations from our friends. So, this is the insight we've focused on.

Calling around all of your friends to find a recommendation for a lawyer, personal trainer or a tattoo artist can take time. With GigPark, we're trying to make it easier to find great service with the help of your friends.
