GigPark: Word of Mouth Online

About a month ago I came across this great site. It is called Gigpark, which is made up of two words. Gig, which comes from how you might explain a job you have (The band is playing a gig Friday night) and Park, which is a common place for people to chat about where they received great service. gigpark

So by this point you may have a decent idea of what the site is about. Like the title states it is basically, word of mouth online. Gigpark as described on their site is a way to discover the great local handyman, accountant, mechanic (and anyone else) your friends use. The site is essentially made up of two parts. The first would be someone recommending the great service they received and the second would be someone looking for great service.

The point of this post is to try and encourage more people from Yellowknife to start using this service, which is free and Canadian made, because once we all start using this service it will be easier to find great service in this town of our. It is easy to do, so if you have something good to say about a local business, and I know you do, head over to Gigpark and let everyone know. Make sure to add me as a friend as well and check out all the recommendations for Yellowknife
