If anyone is wondering what I do for a living (other than compsci.ca, since that doesn't pay the bills), that would be GigPark.com. I've got a sweet setup to develop at there Wink

It's been all pretty secretive for a while and you still need an invite to get in, but you can get around that by adding our Facebook application. It's like an insta-invite! You don't even have to fill out any forms, it just uses your existing Facebook account to get you started.

It's pretty sweet, you get to ask for, and share recommendations with people you know.

It's designed for recommending real people, but you could easily ask for just about anything.

So friend me on Facebook (Tony Targonski), add the application, and help me find that game Wink

For those interested, GigPark has gone public.

StartupNorth has published a pretty sweet review already.
Quote:

This is in contrast to most current review sites, which give you reviews about service providers that could be written by anyone. With GigPark you can get recommendations directly from your friends, either by viewing service providers that they have reviewed already, or by asking for a specific recommendation. Many review sites such as Amazon.com and Tripadvisor try to build the authority of the reviewer by showing you information about them (such as other reviews they have written, etc), but they remain ripe with fraudsters and hucksters and it is basically impossible to eliminate those people unless you take GigPark?s approach.

Check it out.
