Mathew's comments: Toronto’s GigPark launches in open beta

    Clever idea, but it's really going to be dependent upon the richness of the community. This might well be a case where more is better.

    I think you're right, Mark -- as with most social networks and
    recommendation engines, the community determines whether it lives or
    dies.

    I agree Mark.
    We're seeing some incredible communities already on GigPark. Some of the most interesting are based around important life events... having a baby, buying a house, starting a business. These seem to be the times that groups of friends come together and help each other most. And one of the ways they are helping each other is by sharing recommendations about their service people.

    We've heard stories from new mothers who have hired every single service they need via recommendations from their friends on GigPark. Makes the job very satisfying :).

    Thanks for the fantastic write-up Mathew.

    I have often thought that the behavioral targeting is a bit off key with what advertising should be right now. I kind of feel like it is an invasion of privacy a bit for the end user and it seems to just be one more way we are being tracked online.
