"Angie’s List began trading this week with a market cap of $800 million. Personally, I find this hard to believe and unsustainable... My opinion is driven by a conviction that Angie’s List is built on an antiquated business model."
Indeed. Requiring me to pay $35 or whatever just to have a bunch of contractors call me and haggle over the phone isn't useful.
I much prefer Redbeacon's approach: Download the iPhone app, take a few pictures, and let the providers send you concrete prices.
