Toronto is currently in the throws of labour, giving birth to two distinct but potentially competitive review services.
Homestars.com and Gigpark are both, at their core, places to post reviews. In the case of Homestars, their current focus is on home renovators and service providers (an industry that needs to have some accountability injected in to it!). Gigpark, is more generalist in its approach, but layers a social network on as the main hook. The idea being that you will trust reviews from people you know more than you will trust reviews from just anyone.
I think both approaches have a few strengths and a few glaring weaknesses. First up for review is HomeStars.com, and we will take a look at GigPark later on.
