GigPark: Bringing peer recommendations online

GigPark is social recommendation Website that launched last February, the site recently pushed out a major redesign. It’s like Yelp, but only with recommendations from people you know.

If you have at least a few friends, you would have experienced being asked for recommendations. "I am getting married, do you know a good photographer?" or "I am starting my own company, do you know a good web designer?" are 2 of the more common questions. If you know what I am talking about, GigPark is about bringing all these recommendations to one place. No more repeating yourself and no more keeping track of your "talent pool".

GigaPark is an online service but you can also install in as a Facebook application, plugging it right into the center of your social life. I am currently testing it. Give it a spin and let me know what you think.
