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.<br><br>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 :).<br><br>Thanks for the fantastic write-up Mathew.<br><br>Pema<br>Co-founder, GigPark I agree Mark.

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.
