Sounds like angie's list could have benefitted from some sort of internet based service that rates various providers of services...anybody know of any?

Are millions in Angie's List advertising expenses going into CEO Bill Oesterle pocket also? http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/05/ibj-exposes-self-dealing-by-angies-list.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
