ServiceLive

Congrats to my good friend Jamil Hossain and company for getting ServiceLive online. ServiceLive is a web service whereby people can find qualified contractors to help them complete "any project, anywhere." Homeowners can reap the benefits of finding proven professionals to complete contracting work, which can be quite a headache. It's services like these (also yelp and angie's list) that are helping to decrease the information asymmetry in the search and purchase of services.

(And again, another sign that the yellow pages advertising model is outdated.)
